While the title is a joke I think theres something to be said for the similarities between Eddie Lacy and FSU's Lonnie Pryor. First lets get this out of the way, while Pryor has been playing fullback (and well) he was originally a running back before being told to pack on the weight. He does not have the quick feet of Lacy but his lateral agility is almost on par and his blocking and qb protection are both much better. Pryor didn't have the major role that Lacy did but there are quite a few Statistical Similarities: Lacy Pyror Rushing Avg: 6.5 yards 8.0 yards Recieving Avg: 8.6 9.0 TD per attempt: .083 .17 Height: 5'11" 6'0" Weight: 230 230 40 time: 4.64 4.64 While there are intangibles to take into account such as playing experience level of competition etc I believe the edge goes to Pryor based on his accountability, leadership experience, and work ethic. This kis is gonna be a steal for some team on day 3.
He'd be a heck of a compliment to Miller & Thomas. Better fit for our offense than Lane, IMO, and an upgrade to our goal line & short yardage offense. Would probably be a decent third down back considering he can block, catch, and pick up the tough yards. I'd rather spend a 5th on Pryor than a 2nd on Lacy to be honest. DJ would be happy with his bubble that's for sure.
