Stevie Hicks - Rigs44, ya gotta love him

[124]

I've been really liking this guy since last year's Iowa State - Missouri game and he's doing pretty well today in a so far 16-3 Iowa State lead over #8 Iowa.

I believe he is a Senior, NFL material? I think so.

Redshirt junior, who probably would be wise to not to enter the draft early, considering Maroney and Bush are gone after this season.

But if he continues to run the way he has, he could be a factor when he is draft eligible. Had a 1,000 plus yards last season and will likely do better this season.

Good size at 6' 2" 215 pounds, but speed will be a factor in how high he's picked. It's believed he lacks elite speed, however...

10 years ago, a player like that would be an ideal fullback in the NFL--(short yard runner & receiver), but today's FB's only block.

I thought he was running a little too straight-up at times

Thats what I do not like about Reggie Bush. When bush gets the handoff and runs with the ball, it looks like a WR got the ball on a reverse. He is an electric player, great college player. But I'm not sure if he'll be a great or even good, nfl player. He doesnt even have a set position.

All taller RB's appear to run upright...The average tailback at the Combine was about 5'10" and few RB's much over 5'11" make an impact these days...

Heck, if 1980's star Eric Dickerson (who was tall and ran real upright) came along these days, he'd look a giraffe out there.

Hicks is 6' 2" and Bush is about 6' 1", so they probably do look too upright. It's just a visual thing.

Hicks is a probable draft pick.....Bush looks like a sure 1st rounder, whenever he comes out.
