Hall of Famer
Ranking the highlight films:
I'm going to play Rivals scout here- I'll rank as many white RBs as I can rank fairly before my eminent firing comes for being an honest well meaning person with no hate in my heart- I'd have no chance to last long there in that cesspool of hate. A 6.1 rating means the player is generally within the top 25 in the nation. A 6.0 means the player is within the top 50 players in the nation. A 5.9 generally means the player is within the top 130-140 players in the nation and a 5.8 means the player is in the range of the top 250-300 players in the nation. I've compared these guys game film to the top "all black" RBs in the Rivals 250 and I think these 7 belong there. The first 2 guys are phenomenal talents. I'm going to try to update this to a top 10 list soon. Then I'll fill in the gaps with measurements, statistics and 3 more highlight films! If anyone has suggestions of who I missed suggest here or PM me. I want to only include a top 10, so so far these are the only guys I've picked.
1. Nile Knapp: Sherwood Christian Academy, Georgia (Top 50 Overall National Prospect- #1 All Purpose RB- One of the top 5 RBs in the nation, Rating 6.1)
*Could use adding 10-15 lbs if he can keep his FREAKISH short area explosion. Outside of Barry Sanders, I'm yet to see a more agile human being. Georgia leading rusher.
5'9.5, 185 lbs, 4.43- 40, 3.98 Shuttle, 38-VJ.
225-2192 YDs-9.74 YPC- 14 Receptions for 113 YDs, 33 Total TDS.

2. Brandon Bourbon: Potosi, Missouri (Top 50 Overall National Prospect- One of the top 5 RBs in the nation, Rating 6.1)
6-2, 215, 4.36- 40, 38 VJ, 3.97 Shuttle.
174-2,406-13.8 YPC. I believe he led the nation in YPC for 2,000 yard backs.

3. Marc Mauro: Locust Valley, New York (Film Rating 5.9/ Prospect Rating 5.9/5.8? INC. Information)
6'1, 190 lbs, 4.37 40, 4.22 Shuttle. Don't have any game statistics on this kid. I think with as many long runs as his highlight video had, his production's got to be super stellar! Has 4.37 speed and amazing game film. I'd say the GAME FILM is a 5.9 prospect ranking. However, I'm not sure if his actual rating should be 5.9 or 5.8, because I have no stats on him and he's a bit raw. He'll probably need to add a little weight.
