Why aren’t people talking about Dylan Sampson?

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Guess we're gonna need to win the natty to get some respect.

 

[Flipdaddy]

Hendon Hooker not getting an invite told me all I needed to know.

Gimmick offense. Didn’t you know??

Tis the season.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

He is a beast, he keeps coming at you and coming at you! GBO!!!!!

Sampson is probably a late 2nd round to early 3rd round NFL Draft Pick on Day 1.

 

[Rememberthelate90s]

Sampson is probably a late 2nd round to early 3rd round NFL Draft Pick on Day 1.

Na. Fumbles is a bit of problem for him. Jay Graham comes to mind. Might need to come back. He will make more next year than a 5th round pick.

 

[DonDiego]

I hope he rushes for 250 yards against the bucktooths. They'll notice him then.

Yeah the Bible is only 10 commandments and X is only 280 characters. I'm shocked that VN allows a paragraph.

Nope. Only had a few fumbles in his career. He will be a 2nd or 3rd pick.

Don't know the exact number, but he's had a few.
The perception he is fumble prone seems to be real. If he doesn't learn to keep a solid handle on the football he won't have much of a NFL carrer.

 

[chuckiepoo]

I don’t understand

He has been a regular guest on SEC Network programming since midseason.

 

[easttnbuck]

He only has five fumbles lost for his career (I think it's 9 total, 4 were recovered)

The issue is, he has a four streak RN which is hurting his stock a lot

Arian Foster comes to mind

 

[Raebo]

SEC is a QB league at this time. Emphasis seems for RBs to pass block or to go out for a pass. Even here Nico and our passing game seems to get most of the attention. Sampson is obviously a very good RB and would probably get more recognition in a different conference.

Is jist a UT fan?

Bought breakfast when I started reading this title. I’m into lunch and just finished it.

 

[njvols]

I don’t understand

I don't either. My assumption is he's not a bruiser like Derek Henry, or a top end speed/twitch guy like Kamara...he's just good at literally everything and always gets the extra yards, and you look up at the end of the game and he's got 125 yards. Hope he carries a little extra motivation to Columbus. He's going to have a great NFL career.

 

[perico]

I don’t understand

It was a mere 2 seasons prior that we had inarguably the best player in college football, and the SEC Player of the Year on Offense.

Didn’t get a Heisman invite or All American.

 

[Voluntarius]

I would love to see us use him more on designed pass plays in space rather than just dumping a safety outlet when everyone's covered. He has that Kamara-esque skill set to be really effective as a pass catching RB.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

He's the SEC's leading rusher this season and he's gotten some SEC player of the year recognition, so it's not like he's being ignored, but it's also not like his season is above and beyond the type of season that normally leads the conference. Even in the last decade there have been several seasons by running backs in the SEC that are probably going to end up with more yardage. Maybe if we get a couple more games he passes Schrader from Missouri to exceed last year's conference rushing leader.

Same idea with Charles Woodson. 'It's about time a defensive back won the Hypeman. I'm sure we will see this more in the future' (none since)
