I couldn't post a link from NFL.com but there is a web series with most the RB prospects (minus of course the VASTLY overrated Todd Gurley) and Duke is TOP TO BOTTOM the best prospect present. This isn't even bias. His reaction skills, one cut was praised by LT and marriucci.

The ONLY other person I saw that was good was Ameer Abdullah and even when he finished the drill Melvin Gordon had the balls to slide in and give his two cents about his running style. Melvin Gordon and Jay Ajayi got the drill and they made it easy for them.

They have Duke projected late second. Someone is committing highway robbery taking him that late.

I actually watched it on tv last night. Duke is going to surprise alot of folks in the league, hes the leading rusher in the U's history which should make a no brainer when you look at the backs he surpassed.
 
I just hope Duke ends up with decent coaches in NFL. Kid deserves a chance at rings Al never gave him. Fins suck so please not here.

Bu according to Al it was his clique mentality that cost the team, not **** poor coaching.

Couldn't agree more about Gurely being overrated. Top 30 player? yes. not elite top 10. just look at the rest of Georgia's RBs. They produced just as well as Gurley did (Michel & Chubb). **** even Keith Marshall was balling before injuries started to take a toll. Gurley is great, but coming off an ACL added to the fact that his team consistently runs to ball well already just makes me not as much of a believer as most.
 
This year's Wefense is being taught to step up on quick changes and not let turnovers result in automatic points.

Coach D learned that useful tidbit in Dallas.

Too bad he didn't realize that during Duke's tenure.
 
I hope his divisive mom didn't scare teams off. There might be some teams that won't draft him no matter how far he falls like when Aaronthal Hernandez came out of UF.

He changed 4 wins to losses last year alone. He's like a magician.

Coach Al would have won at least 10 games last season if Duke didn't have butter fingers, and everyone would have been praising Coach Al.

It's a crazy game isn't it? Duke cost him 4 games, C A G takes all the heat for it and then C A G is gracious enough to tell the world Duke will be tough to replace. Then, the haters even rip him for that.

Listen. I'm not here to rip former players. I appreciate what Duke tried to do here even though he cost us so many games and divided the locker room. But when push comes to shove, C A G outlasted them all. He's still here, so he's more important than the guys who aren't. I'm going to support the guy who stuck it out and is still here over the guy who left at the first chance he had.

We all know Al is never wrong, so without Duke as locker-room cancer, Al should have no problem going undefeated this year. Make room for that 6th NC trophy!!!!!!!

As soon as someone hears a different opinion they start crying troll to get people in trouble. Subtle snitch technique. The boy who cried troll.

Learn to debate differing opinions in an intelligent manner that might increase everyone's knowledge base. I'm all for censoring opinions that are mean and hurtful, but these fine men have done nothing of the sort.
 
I love the heart Duke has, but to "survive" in the NFL, he's going to have to stay true to his elusive style of play, and stop trying to run people over to prove he's tough. It was clear that Duke responded to the notion that he was talented, but shy'd away from contact.

LeSean McCoy has proven that there's longevity to be had in the league - for an elusive style of play.

There's nothing to prove Duke, make your money for a decade, instead of being called a tough/fearless RB for 3 years.
