NEW: Late 2nd round would be awesome. I'm surprised at his speed. He looked slow the few times I saw him play this year, but maybe that's due to how big he is. That guy has some cannons. (nm)

NEW: Pound for pound, he is the strongest player (by far) in this year's NFL Combine. With a legit 4.5 speed, he will absolutely punish defenders. (nm)

NEW: He's going to have to learn to pass block if he wants to have any type of NFL career. The league has become so pass-happy that blocking by RB's is nearly as important as running the ball. (nm)

NEW: Wouldn't be suprised if the Niners roll the dice on him. He is pretty similar to Gore except for the shiftiness. Gore is getting old and wasn't the best blocker either. (nm)

NEW: Robert Turbin and Alex Smith together at San Fran would be awesome. (nm)

NEW: I would love him to be behind Ray Rice in Baltimore but they are looking for a free agent over a draft investment. (nm)

NEW: Agreed, he will definitely have to learn to be a better pass blocker in the NFL, no question about it. Fortunately, that's something that can be coached, he has all the physical abilities and talent to make it happen. (nm)

NEW: USU will miss him greatly. I was at Tulane in the Matt Forte era. When he left, the Green Wave went from being bad to being horrible. (nm)

NEW: Great story hope he gets drafted. He needs a catchy nickname.

NEW: That's because Turbin has freakishly large arms and a freakishly large chest.
