T.J. Duckett made a terrible decision to enter the NFL. The guy is too slow for NFL linebackers, who are every bit as strong as he is.

He doesn’t hit the holes quickly, doesn’t block passes well and can’t catch the ball out of the backfield, which are important characteristics of NFL running backs.

He badly needs another year of college football to develop those qualities, but instead, he’ll be a flop in the NFL.

I will guarantee that whoever replaces Duckett at running back next season will be able to do some of those important things he could never do.

The bottom line is Duckett won’t be Duckett in the NFL. He’ll be just another player.
