Homer Combine Link's & Results

[YLCANE]

You don’t stop improving when you’re 21 years old. In fact you haven’t even reached your peak at that age. Homer is a hard worker, and he will continue to improve.

Sometimes observers seem to view people statically. In other words, a picture of them as they are or were, not as they could be. Especially with someone as singularly focused and hard working as he is, one has to take into account the likelihood of continued improvement.

He is a solid draft choice. I’m not a draft expert, but I’m thinking somewhere in the 3rd to 5th round. I don’t see him going any later than that. We shall see.

Don’t be surprised if he’s a solid back for several years, barring injury.

I will but that. I think 5th sounds reasonable. It all comes down to situation and opportunity....hope he makes it

And also will put on the 10lbs he dropped for the combine...about 212 and he will be a prototype RB size.

He was never over 205 at Miami

Great kid but zero vision and not blazing speed, special teams player at best.

Can some of his "vision" problems come from an oline that couldnt blow away savannah state? Or from terrible designed/predictable running plays, that were the only option because the qb couldnt complete a forward pass, and the playbook only had 1 page.

This has hindered every skill player on offense. Cost them some $$, too.
Richt always had kickass OLs but he couldn’t adjust the playbook to a team with a crap OL. He almost got Kaaya killed

Im no draft expert or football expert but the dude avg 6yds a carry for his career. he makes plays, I find it hard to believe that a RB with that ypc, lacks vision but everyone has flaws i guess. Homer carried this offense for 2 years, literally. Even still, how many games did he actually get 20+ carries?

Liked Homer when he was here. Vision and lack of wiggle are his weaknesses but he was a Cane through and through and gave his all every play. Hoping he is successful in the league.b

Look at how violently he finishes with his runs. Homer may be a smaller back at 5’11 202 but he runs more physical than most running backs that are heavier than him

Minimum he will make a team as a special teamer. Kid is a grinder & puts his body on the line.

Absolutely. He will be collecting $$$$ for years to come on punt coverage.

Well that is a bit harsh.. (and unfounded)

at best? no, he’s a special team player at very minimum.
