I am not much for hyperbole

[Mebert]

but.......

imagine if you combine Barry Sanders Elusiveness, Gale Sayers natural running ability, Jim Browns power ability, Chris Johnsons speed, and Marshall Faulks receiving ability. You get a player who is almost as good as Zach Zenner

 

[tpaulus_2]

Almost half as good, you mean.

I think the only question at this point is how many 2,000 yard seasons does he wind up getting?

 

[VulturesRule]

He's been getting a lot of notice outside of Detroit. The Lions may have hit RB pa dirt this year, from AA to ZZ.

Loving Zenner contributing from yet another UDFA pickup. He hasn't made the team yet. I just can't see him clearing waivers, so...

I would be tickled Honolulu blue if AA makes a big impact. Been awhile since a second rounder has.

 

[gandydancer]

^^^^^ yes that is a backhanded compliment to MM.

^^^^

glad you explained that part of it... the backhandedness

 

[broncosmitty]

I keep re-reading this thread and I'll be damned if I can find hyperbole or backhandedness.

Lately he has found decent guys after the draft. Not HOF material, but decent. Other than Darius. Has he had any luck from a two?

Zach Zenner train.....

 

[RobBase]

If he could replace Bell, that'd be outstanding.

 

[Old Lion]

If he could replace Bell, that'd be outstanding.

Maybe not this year but next hopefully. Have to see if Bell has anything left after a second set of surgeries. Never know.

Come on -- Mikel LeShoure? I heard his speed and acceleration is off the charts right now, in the flag football league he is playing in. Titus Young? He is tearing up the St. Helen's Mental Ward intramural football league. Ryan Broyles? He tore his ACL walking to the parking lot after getting released last week. Louis Delmas? The guy is a missile -- his dread locks alone has won football games for teams. I know, I for one, am shocked he is injured again. May as well throw in Jahvid Best too -- he was basically a 2nd rounder, as he was taken like 31st or something like that -- He was tearing up his Madden 2016 league he played in, but concussion systems forced him to retire from the league.

LeShoure -- Not in the NFL
Young -- Not in the NFL
Best -- Not in the NFL
Broyles -- Not in the NFL right now.
Delmas -- With the Suhphins.

At least we have Slay. It looks like he hit a homerun with that pick so far.
