‘23 VA ATH Cameron Seldon (Tennessee Commit)

[bigl3327]

Yes, unless you're a RB who can pass block and catch, you're really not a hot commodity. RBs like Derrick Henry and offenses to suit them are a rarity.

The chances of having a long NFL career as a RB are slim.

31/32 tops after that there’s a fast drop off.

Actually, now you're lucky to sign a long term deal after your rookie contract

Yeah like @bigl3327 said.

You're lucky to get a new deal.
3 years is the average span of anyone drafted or that makes a team at RB

 

[DaddyChad]

Years per position.

 

[DaddyChad]

I do think RBs have a huge number of injuries that effect quality of life after football. Hard to explain that to a 17-18yo kid that thinks they’re bulletproof.

 

[Devo182]

I don't know that Seldon wants to be a full time RB. Versatility can raise draft stock and WR's are getting drafted early and often. They are also signing ridiculous $$$$ contracts. RB's, on the other hand, not so much. They have been devalued greatly in the NFL.

247 said he wants to be a WR.

 

[LittleVol]

Hurd tried to help his longevity by switching positions.

Sometimes you just got to play where you're best at.

With this kid, there's so much range.

He's 6'2 210 and runs 4.3

You could put him just about anywhere.

ILB, WR, and RB...honestly he could star at any of them.

Agree but has he ever played LB in HS? I mean if he has played LB before then I could see that being a potential position. But honestly the guy just looks like a natural on offense.

He's a lethal weapon on offense.
Needs to touch it 12 -15 times per.game

Frank Gore says hello

39 year old anomaly and RB Iron Man that just retired from the NFL.

That 3 year avg is misleading for those that have star/staying power. Just saying

Linebacker position is about instincts. "See ball, get ball." Pass coverage skills can be learned.
Agree he looks natural at RB.................

Hello Vol Nation...Cam just won the 100m, 200m and 4×1 relay at the state track meet.

No he's never played LB

Using the exception that proves the rule is misleading actually.

I think this guy will be on offense but it doesn’t really matter where they played in high school.

 

[Plove23]

Times please

10.74-100m
22.45-200 after catching a cramp. But ran 21.75 (record) the day before
43.71- 4×1

FLYING and looks like a very big young man. Can't wait for him to get back to Knoxville (aka, home)

Lol, yessir. We really enjoyed the Tennessee visit. Go Vols

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Lol, yessir. We really enjoyed the Tennessee visit. Go Vols

But is he a Vol? That's the question we want answered, Plove!

 

[onevol74]

Still thinks he reminds me of McFadden at Arkansas. Would be great in Heupel’s offense.

That looks like elite size/speed combo. Stands out compared to everyone competing for state, although he probably is in a lower division due to school size.
