He reminds me of Chad Morton the few times I saw him. He really didn't wow me in the slightest. Just a real fast guy.
He has no "wiggle". Straight ahead speed. That said he is tough and he can catch the ball. But one thing that's really hard to factor is his run in the 2nd half with USC coincided with Palmer's run and Mike Williams incredible play. So what keyed what, did Fargas make Palmer look good, did Williams make Palmer look good, did Palmer make them look good ?
I think Fargas is a smokescreen I think he's got talent but I don't think he'll ever be a consistent NFL starting RB he simply has too many health questions. If he had wiggle it'd be different but the way he runs, he gets hit a lot and he's simply going to get injured.
As a 4th round pick he'd be a great pickup but if he's going in the 2nd round I think some team will be real disappointed.
Remember he was sitting behind Sultan McCullough half of this year and some scouts are just convinced Sultan is the least instinctive RB they've ever seen.
