You know what I love about that interview with Breece today? It shows he’s apparently still in Ames. He wouldn’t have to be, but the culture is so good that he’s still around.
Still taking classes this semester I wonder?

Probably. But we learned with our former point guard that doesn’t necessarily mean staying in Ames.

I just think it’s cool he wants to be around. He was at that first public practice at Ames High. And I’m guessing if he was in a position where it made any sense to stay, he would have stayed for another year.

Matt Miller from ESPN has Breece going 2nd Round:

i

37. Houston Texans

Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State

Hall could be a surprise Round 1 pick, but here he falls to the Texans and lands in a situation in which he can be a rookie starter and a focal point in the offense. Hall's three-down ability, speed and power could soon make him a top-10 NFL back.

I haven't seen a mock lately that has him, or any RB, going in the first round.

But there has been at least one taken in the first every year since like 2014 or 2015.

I kind of forgot about the Texans. David Johnson is a free agent (and old, relatively) now. That'd be an interesting fit.

That would be really bad for fantasy purposes. His TD upside would severely be capped to maybe 4 or 5 all season.

I kind of followed him due to fantasy last year, sucks to say but if any RB has an "over the hill" designation it'd be him. It's too bad, feel like injuries killed his shot at a really promising career.

Sorry if this was already posted, I didn't see it.

Hall is head and shoulders above everyone else in their metric. In fact, the 4th highest all time behind Jonathon Taylor, Ricky Williams and Saquon Barkley. That is some pretty good company.

That’s the problem right there. Around 250 players get drafted, but around 335 get invited to the combine. That’s 85 combine invitees minimum who aren’t drafted. And EVERYONE has a great pro day. We just don’t hear about other teams or care to. Pro day times are usually at least a tenth better, the drills are set up to put the players in the best light. Pro day results are close to meaningless.

ISU fans have been optimistic about our draft chances for years. How often has it actually went the way we hoped? But I do think some of it is just ignorance on what the nfl wants and then the competition out there.
I like it how you have to completely ignore the fact that Breece had the best combine of any RB. Not just a good Pro Day. Its like that never happened in your argument.
