Anybody have anything new on Anthony Barr?

How many Brandon Jacobs's are there running around in the NFL?

 

There are rules of thumb, and exceptions to those rules. Not saying that Barr couldn't be a RB, but there are few guys with the dimensions of a tight end that play running back.

 

When I look at him run, his fluidity stands out more than his top end speed. I'd say linebacker if he can hit, and H Back if he can't. JMO though, I'm certainly no wizard.

 

The thing with Brandon Jacobs to is he's really a freak of nature. The guy is a Big Mac shy of 270 and if I remember correctly I believe he runs a 4.6 despite that size. As I said originally it wouldn't be impossible for him to play HB, but the odds are against him. Also he's still a Jr and will be a Sr next fall correct? He still has a fairly good chance of growing some which hurts his odds even more of playing HB effectively. It's not taking anything away from him or his ability, he's a great talent. Physically it's hard to do.
