Looking at the list of athletes from the Bay Area that signed on NSD, I see RB Crispin Atkins will walk on...

If so, he is a good pick up. I have been to about 75 percent of his games since his sophomore year because I have cousins on the team in the same class. He breaks arm tackles and is a tough runner. A one cut type of back. Small at about 5'9 and not very fast. Not saying he would be a major contributor but he is a good RB.

Not bad for a kid that's walking on to the team. Strong runner. How much does he weigh?Possible future FB candidate?

Dude, we're not supposed to focus on what we didn't get, and focus on the kids we did get! Ok?
Did I phrase that right?! Thanks Al and staph.

There are walk-on's on every team ever year. They are the guys that work their asses off on the scout team. It's not like this guy is a back-up option for Dexter Williams. That thought is asinine. That doesn't mean we can't be happy to get a good walk-on kid. At the very least he makes the defense better, and if we are lucky he might even surprise us and contribute on the field.

His Hudl has him at 190 but I doubt he is less then 200. I would say somewhere between 205-215. Not very muscular or ripped but he is solid and well put together. Besides his height, he passes the eye test.

Kid plays like a football player, doesn't dance makes nice cuts and does not go down on first contact. He could gain a lot of yards behind a decent line. I

Yup. Played with Mat Stwan, Mark Hughes, Frank D'Amico. Stwan could have played big time D1 somewhere. What a shame.

Bo Jackson and Barry Sanders were walk ons too. Stop hating. This dude could be another D' Andre whatever his name is who walked on here at RB a couple years ago.
