Cody may be fast in the 40 but hes a long strider and on film doesnt look as fast as he is. His speed is straight line and not so much quickness that DY has.

I don't mean to brag about my knowledge but I have had the number one rated class with EA sports for the last three years on my dynasty. Not to mention I have read Meat Market, and have a subscription to Rivals. Needless to say, I know what I'm talking about even though I'm in finance by trade. However, I put my stamp behind this recruit even though he/Dooley can change their mind at anytime and go to a different school. He is white and from Tennessee, and even though he is not a fullback or a walk on linebacker, I will go against my intuition and say that I approve of this verbal, completely non-binding commitment.

Can't tell if serious?

From ESPN SIAP:

This is a very interesting guy that is similar to Notre dame safety Harrison Smith who is ironically from the Knoxville area. Blanc is an athletic running back/wide receiver hybrid that has a blue collar, overachiever feel to him and surprising straight-line speed. He is tall and gangly, but with a sturdy build that may lend to him playing as a wide receiver or safety. Lacks a powerbase for a major level RB, built more like a WR. A north-south running back who is quick to find the hole or cutback and get upfield. Displays some surprising wiggle and stop/start capabilities if confronted in the backfield with penetration. Shows nice initial burst and can accelerate--shows very good top-end speed when he breaks free into the second level. More of a threat when he can stretch it outside and get in space. Shows the speed to change gears and pull away with his stride. Shows good hands out of the backfield and with polish as a route runner we see potential at wide receiver. To remain at RB we feel he will need to develop more bulk, power and improve running tilt to remain a productive one-cut and go slasher. With Blanc you don't have an elite athlete or a guy that wows you, but you respect him and like his toughness, versatility and physical development properties.

If I was writing a job description for a punt returner, that would be what I would write.

This is what I would put down for the definition of a punt returner:

It's deceptive if you happen to be white, because outside of 1970's Russia, crackers aren't supposed to run fast. When they do, it's "deceptive".

It's just the way it is.

I prefer the term "Saltine American" tyvm.

Words like blue collar and overachiever are exclusively used for white players.
