Johnathon Stewart is better than all these sophmore backs as far as talent.Too bad its going to waste at Oregon.

Eh, cause the only serious injury he has gotten was from kicking a curb barefoot? Besides that there's only really the sprained ankle he had from Florida.

Jonathan Stewart is the closest to the total package of all the RB's in that class. I think will be one of the best players in the NFL 3 or 4 years into his pro career. Oregon has a good program, but we're not seeing everything Stewart is able to do there. If he went to one of the elite programs that were scouting him he possibly couuld have had a better college career up to this point and in the next 1 or 2 years.

c'mon. Darren McFadden is the only back besides Herschel Walker to have 1,000 yard seasons as both a freshman and a sophmore, and he splits time with another great back. McFadden didn't just pop up this year.
I have to admit I've only seen 2 games with Stewart though.

Um, Peterson had 1,000 yard seasons his first two years as well.

Slaton isn't all that great of a pro prospect to me. He's fast, very very fast, but he is not much of an inside runner and he is AWFUL at breaking tackles. That WVU system inflates his stats a bit.
Darren McFadden reminds me so much of Eric Dickerson it's scary. I think he'll undoubtedly be the best pro.

I like Stewart. Charles worries me a little bit. He is a track star, and he can fly, but I have seen him fumble a few times.
I thought Ray Rice was the product of a lot of running room, and he does not have a lot of breakaway speed, but I could be wrong. I think people said the same thing about Emmitt Smith, and he was a smallish guy as well...

Slaton fumbled because he hurt his wrist which he recently had surgery on. I would have to say McFadden. He his beast.

McFadden and Slaton are on a completely different level than Rice and Johnson.

he did have running room but also has alot of breakaway speed, After Mcfadden, I like Rice the best, he is fast and runs with power. Height is overrated as Maurice Drew demonstrated this year.

Javarris James will be more successful than any of them, but I guess that would be a different poll between him, Beanie Wells and PJ Hill. Hmm....ideas??

Ray Rice has a nice combo of speed and size. Reminds me a bit of LJ. I think he will be a nice addition to any NFL team.

McFadden is in a league of his own. He would be drafted ahead of Peterson if he were available this year. His size and speed combo is mind boggling almost

I have to disagree with that, I love Rutgers but Rice doesn't have a great combo of speed and size at all. He's rather short and isn't that fast (at least timed). Now I feel the 40 can be overrated for certain positions at times but Rice hits the hole hard and with authority. He has a great level of stamina and improves as the game wears on. However, I think he isn't as talented as McFadden, Davis, Stewart and Slaton. He's sort of like Mike Hart, he's not great timed but he's got a good level of skills that will translate into average success at the next level. Rice can be good though.
