jbengals1 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 What do you guys think of this guy [jarrett payton] he has a great backround [walter payton's son ] and looks like he might be around the 17th pick, I love dillon but it would be funny to see jarrett replace him and break dillons records like dillon broke his fathers "what comes around goes around" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Major:Liberal arts Now this is what worries me. How smart can this guy be?

The only father/son connection that I think works well in sports is in NASCAR. I mean there are 39 different juniors.. SHESH! Junior this, junior that, is there NO creativeness in the moonshine sport? I think I got put on Billy and Kev's hit list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Payton is not nearly as good as his dad, hes too tight and straight forward runner, and hes not even big for it. I wouldnt take him till mb the 4th round or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrishcovga Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Payton isn't a first day back in the least.. Decent size, average speed, poor vision ,not an elusive back. He's no better than a low 5th to 6th rounder, and even then , you'd be drafting him as an athlete,and not a running back. Real doubtful he could make a team . Can catch, but caught mostly screens in his senior year. There's a reason why he was 4th on the depth charts behind... McGahee,Gore,and Davenport 2 years ago.

Yea, I think Chris has a better perspective on Payton. Personally I think he'll only be a third down back and kickoff return "specialist" IF he gets in the NFL at all.

richmond_mat Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 After seeing who this fella is I wouldn't draft him. Miami was horrible at running the ball last season. I must have been thinking of someone else; quincy wilson maybe (otis wilson is his father).Miami's entire team only managed 89 yards against the lowly wvu defense. That was a great game though, too bad winslow...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
