Most of his big plays were him running right up the middle.

They undervalue him running between the tackles. Just because a guy is smaller they automatically declare him an outside runner, not true in several cases.

As good as Spiller was, he was better outside. Andre is much better inside than Spiller ever was.

Funny thing about Spiller now

I've only watched him in two games this season - ones that I watched only partially - and he had some success on the inside with his ability to dance and spin. I didn't see any breakaway half field runs until he got outside, but he was able to get the extra 5 or even 10 yards inside by spinning and footwork.

Maybe my favorite Tiger of all time. What a great kid and a great talent. Wish he got more touches throughout his career.
Best of luck, Andre! We'll miss you.

He would not have been that high last year. He has greatly improved his receiving ability this season and that is going to raise his stock a ton because of what kind of back he is.

AE has been a great player for us. He works hard, sets the good example, minds his business, and takes care of the team's business on the field. He gives all he has, every time he is on the field, and we are much better off because he was at Clemson. God bless AE, and I hope the draft fully appreciates his value.

He has been a great back for us but does not have Chris Johnson or CJ speed

The guy said he doesn't have the top end speed of Johnson

He doesn't have to for success in the NFL. I think he will be a productive RB in the NFL if put it the right situation and "most" NFL teams are able to figure that out with their personnel (excluding the Jets of course and maybe a couple of others)! LOL

He needs to land somewhere with a zone blocking scheme
Dec 6, 2012, 9:07 AM
|
|
He ran it in high school, he ran it his first three years of college and the few zone plays they let him run this year all went for huge plays. He sees the holes in a zone scheme incredibly well and that is something that can't be taught.

Serious question: My niece's favorite player is Andre and I'm trying to get an autographed picture of him for her for Christmas. Any suggestions? Any chance? Thanks
