not official yet. But all of the sudden harris is back on campus in the weight room. He has till the 20th to make his decision. Its not uncommon for former players to come back and workout But of harris did go back and with 5star Trey Sanders theyvwill be nasty at RB plus 1xof the WRs Dovonte Smith also returning for senior season. He caught that walkoff TD in OT in title game against GA I know Juedy got all the press bit Smith had the most TD catches this past year for them Smith was nasty. Another great future NFL WR. He was behind Jeudy and Ruggs though so i see why he is going back. yes behind them on the draft boards but had better stats in 2019

Holy crap he is old lol. Solid resume as RB coach for Clemson and Bama for 18 years. The guy should know a thing or two about coaching RBs, lets see what he can do with Barkley. anything but using him as a battering ram for 2 yards directly into the teeth of the defense will be a radical improvement Don't forget we did that while having one of the worst Centers in the league. I was shocked to see how good we were last year running the ball to the right side. Zeitler was obviously good but Remmers actually did well run blocking.

Etienne is going back to Clemson Didn't know that, no chance we would take a 1st round RB anyway this year. That does make me happy because he was looking like he'd get drafted towards the end of the 1st and if he went to KC that would be crazy. He's one of the fastest RBs in the country (and Simmons went stride for stride with him in the 40). Simmons is a beast .. 6" 3 230 and runs a 4.3 40 yd dash .. if he's there at 4 , he would be an instant upgrade to anything we have on defense .

I keep thinking the Lions take him at 3, but if they don't I would take him in a heartbeat. He fits exactly what Judge and Graham keep talking about on D, is a massive upgrade at LB and solves a decade old problem of our LBs not being able to cover. He is my favorite player in the draft, I like him more than Young (not saying he is better than young or I would take him over young).
Here is the race. Are you kidding me? One of the fastest players in the NCAA and Simmons is 30-40 pounds heavier. He is a no brainer IMO.

Solid hire. Dude coached so many great RBs. OL coach is of greater importance but I am happy to have "fresh looks" all over our coaching staff.

That's insane ! Yeah I'm with ya 100% .. if he's there at 4 and we don't take him I don't want to hear a single complaint on how crappy the giants defense is . I loved Josh Allen last year but this guy is more versatile .. he has that ability to be an immediate game changer

I loved Josh Allen last year but this guy is more versatile .. he has that ability to be an immediate game changer Exactly. The thing about Simmons is he is actually a very good pass rusher too. Think about this Chase Young (the best pass rusher in the class) had 16.5 sacks and rushed the passer on just about every passing play, he had very little coverage responsibility. Isaiah Simmons had 8 sacks while being in coverage most of the time on passing plays. Obviously lots go into this like teams keying on Young and doubling him ect and Simmons catching teams off guard ect and I am not saying Simmons is Young level good, but 8 sacks for a guy mostly covering is really freaking good. If you watch his film when they send him he gets pressure.
If we were at 2 I would take Young because a pure pass rusher is the #1 need for any defense but taking Simmons is a very close 2nd for me. The kid is fantastic.
