FINALLY! A reasonable article on Clarett....

This is the only article in the past 2 years that has even a slightly sympathetic view towards Maurice Clarett. I was very happy to see this article. I felt really bad for him when he recorded the low times. However, he is a POWER running back, not a speed back. I watched him run in real life at college at Ohio State. He isn't the fastest, but he is a natural. I feel that the combines don't too justice to the players. Teams concentrate too much on the combine. You have to watch the player play on the field. Not everything is about 40 yards. Especially for running backs. They need to worry about 5 yards. What they can do in those first 5 yards is how you determine a great running back. I can't wait to see what team takes the chance on Clarett. I have faith that he will prove himself in the NFL. Then all the critics will be eating their words. Just wait and see....

Give Clarett a break
