I see where you are coming from, but there would be a big downside to doing this: we lessen Thomas's return ability. I'd rather have him covering and fresher for returns then playing on the D front 7 and getting beat up. He was a frosh AA for his returns, not his tacking or coverage. The extra weight will just make him harder to bring down once he gets to speed.
Definitely some cherry picking. Other than being muscular, the talent gap between Drummond and Griffin is as wide as the Grand Canyon. Griffin was the Gatorade Player of the Year at one of the largest classifications in GHSA and had tons of P-5 Scholarships. I'm not sure Drummond had any other than Tech. I like the backs that are ahead of Griffin, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him play a lot this year.
Yeah I was always a fan of Drummond and kept hoping he would break through but never seemed to be able to. I still follow him and he is even more jacked now than back in college. He also auditioned for the Titan Games show with the Rock so hopefully we get to see him again on there.
Drummond was on roids, and not very talented. Not the same at all.
Yeah, I see your point. I should have just left off an example. I was just trying to think of somebody who was jacked and had the fanbase all riled up and then didn't pan out. That said, I still wanna see Griffin carry at least once in a college uniform before I anoint him anything. We should have a good idea a week or so into camp but then again that will be against our D, for whatever that's worth. I will say he's one terrific prospect and I'm glad we got 'em! If he can break a few off against Clem we'll know for darn sure!
