RB L.J. Scott is a Le'Von Bell Clone

[Aesopian]

Similar height and weight they both ran a 4.60 40 yard dash and have a similar running style.

4/6/19: Two NFL running backs coaches told me that Scott impressed them at the combine with how he looked running the ball in the field drills and his work as a receiver. Scott was injured for a lot of 2018 and missed eight games. As such he had just 79 carries, which he turned into a total of 263 yards - 3.3 average. Scott also had 10 receptions for 95 yards. The injuries could cause Scott to slide even though he has the skill set of an early-rounder.

8/28/18 According to NFL teams' preseason data provided by team sources, Scott checks in at 6-foot, 225 pounds. He has 32.13-inch arms and 9.5-inch hands. He is said to run the 40 in 4.60 seconds.

Scott averaged 4.5 yards per carry in 2017 for 898 yards and eight touchdowns. He totaled 20 receptions for 146 yards and a touchdown as well. Sources think that Scott is more than just a power back. They like Scott's surprising speed and believe he has the athletic ability to be more than a North-South runner. He is patient and has feet that can make tacklers miss. He needs to work on his ball security though.

Scouts think that Scott could be even more athletic and quicker if he drops some weight. They talk about how Le'Veon Bell was too heavy at Michigan State and became a different player after losing weight at the direction of the Steelers. Scott may not get a lot of notice, but teams are eyeing him as a value pick. Scott ran for 994 yards on 184 carries - a 5.4-yard average - with six touchdowns as a sophomore.

So in his most recent body of work, he's slower than Howard and averages less ypc against easier competition...

NFL Media's Lance Zierlein compares Michigan State RB LJ Scott to Jordan Howard.

Great, replace Howard with a guy that could develop into Howard.

"Scott (6'1/225) dealt with a multitude of injuries during the 2018 season, missing so much time that he actually would have been eligible for a redshirt had he not participated in MSU's Redbox Bowl showdown with Oregon at the end of December. Given the large, large chunk of time that he has already missed in the recent past -- as well as his generally underwhelming play when healthy -- it would have been a nice beat for his draft stock had he at least managed to show a little something in Mobile. As is, no dice."

Would be huge for modern science if true but also raises many ethical questions

College

Howard YPC: 5.7
Scott YPC: 5.4

The system he's in isn't the best for him he's being used as a power back at Michigan. If you think they have a high YPC you're an idiot.

If he loses 10-15lbs he's a 4.50 guy or faster.

Isn't that a Aaron McMann quote not ance Zierlein?

True remember when I said Alvin Kamara would be a good NFL RB? What a bust.

 

[PrideisBears]

Draft him

Click the link, read.

Kamara was the 67th pick in the draft, he was supposed to be good. Did anyone claim he would be a bust? I didn't think so, acting like you were ahead of the curve on Kamara is a typical lame ass Dez move.

No. Nobody remembers this

You have predicted success for every potential player at some point. My question is, how many mock drafts did you claim Kamara was going to the probowl?

 

[BearDownTexas]

Oh, Dez......

 

[Bearly]

The comparison to Bell and Howard is his patience and ability to read and use blocks. He's somewhere in between in terms of running style and can catch but less dynamic. At this point before the draft, Bell was projected as a 2nd round pick and LJ as a 6th so no, they are not looked at the same way. May work out and may not, like many late round RBs.

There wasn't a member named Aesopian on the board when Kamara was drafted.

 

[PrideisBears]

There wasn't a member named Aesopian on the board when Kamara was drafted.

So i was correct

 

[Sagbear]

IMO they don’t have the same talent level.

Also Bell also went through almost a complete body transformation. Not only did he loose weight but worked extremely hard and cut his body fat way down and put back on muscle

 

[Mitchapalooza]

If he didn't go to the same college as Bell you would have never made this thread.

 

[Warden of the Northeast]

Our last MSU RB was a bust, I'd be a little gun shy taking another one.
