I'm still on the Lattimore bandwagon. I actually think he's the best back prospect since AP. He may not be quite at AP's level, but I think this kid has all the tools. He may not be the fastest back, but I think his speed is good enough. The kid was ready to play in the NFL midway through his freshman year... You don't see that too often when a freshman is manhandling senior lineman and linebackers like that.
A lot of great backs never had the 5-star breakaway speed, I don't think it will hurt Lattimore.
I think Richardson is overrated. I like him, but think a lot of backs can play behind that Alabama o-line. I said the same thing about Ingram last year as well.
If Lattimore stays healthy, he should be the number 2 pick behind Barkley.
