Funny how one trade and couple of hours changes things.

Glide, but does he possess suddenness. Yes! Suddenly he is a STEELER!!

This is a great pick at this point of the draft, got Bmac back and now we got Dwyer late in the 6th round. Some draft experts at the beginning of the year has this guy going in the early rounds.

As far as I am concerned this guy could be a steal in this draft. He is big and decently fast and is a North/South runner who could be Steelers Goalline back from day 1.. I am a Tar-Heels college football fan and I am glad to see this guy gone from GA Tech. He is or was a Beast to all ACC teams. I heard a interview with him on Sirius Radio this past week and he seems like a very hard working kid that Gil Brandt absolutely loves . . and thats pretty good from a guy like Brandt to like ya.

have seen comparison to Beanie kid from Ohio State from last year and a couple of noted power backs. He ain't the bus but he might be the closest we have had since he retired. time to get the swagger in the ground game back!!

Yeh he looked good as a Junior, but he had said on Sirius Radio Interview last week that he wanted to gain a little weight to help him take the beatings that he was taking and it held him back a little in overall speed. But he plans on being around 220 for the upcoming season. He is a beast that I look forward to seeing in Black n Gold as well. I wonder what the chances of him wearing #36 ?
