Thread was accidentally deleted, so I'm just re-posting it! Pretty good interview here.

 

[Prime Time]

That was my screwup. Thanks for reposting and an apology as well to those who commented earlier and who's comments were deleted.

Just based on UGA - forgetting the NFL - who would you take - yourself or Hershel Walker?

"He won a national championship and a heisman and I didn't so I'd have to go with him."

What an answer.

I love listening to this kid.

 

[SierraRam]

I'm really excited about this guy. Hell of a player and person.

He'll have two pro-bowl seasons then we'll trade him to the Vikings for 5 players and 6 picks

Sounds like a kid who gets it. He's saying all the right things. Haven't heard anything negative, so I assume he's doing the right things too.

. . . except for when he gave Fish & Les mild heart attacks by sprinting all out on his surgically repaired knee on the treadmill machine.

 

[LazyWinker]

I like that he kept bringing up one of my favorite sayings, do what you need to do and the rest takes care of itself. Easier said than done.

 

[TheDYVKX]

Seems like a great kid. His head is in the right place.

 

[Stranger]

Great kid

 

[Memento]

Him respecting Steven Jackson was more than enough for me to win me over. Everything he said in this interview confirmed everything I thought.

TG30 just gets it.

 

[Athos]

He got some humble pie for a young kid.

Excellent to have. It'll make him that much better.

 

[Rynie]

I love Herschel Walker. He's the reason we raped the Vikings on a trade, and built the team that won 3 Super bowls. Thanks, Herschel!:banana:

 

[CGI_Ram]

Stevie Baggs was kind of hard to watch in this.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Gurley was great. His answers were thoughtful. He comes across as humble and intelligent.

The guy interviewing him on the otherhand, was terrible. He never really considered Gurley's answers. He moved onto other questions too quickly and seemed to be trying to hard to be some type of character. It was too painful for me to even get halfway through.

 

[Corbin]

Damn, It's amazing how a guy so young, star athlete, top 10 pick is so level headed and down to Earth at his age. Makes me look at myself as say " wth is up with you which is even close to that" Good dude, Happy for him and so ready to watch him grow as a person not to mention as a professional that happens to be on my favorite team.Wow.

 

[TexasRam]

The Guy interviewing has a lot of
Work to do.

Stop clapping, relax so you don't come across as nervous. Prepare your questions ahead of time.

Felt bad for the guy. Take some classes and work harder
At your craft.

 

[Afro Ram]

I worry about the expectations put on this kid. "Best running back prospect in ten years." Comparisons to Adrian Peterson, Herschel Walker, Marshon Lynch. The Rams just got rid of one super talented player with an acl issue to gamble big on another. He better stay healthy or the fanbase is going to turn on him and Snisher faster than you can blink an eye.

 

[FRO]

Kid is going to be a star. Limitless potential. Glad he is a Ram.

Seems very possible, my money is on Gurley. He's going to be Nick Noles best friend
train

 

[ramfan46]

He's very calm and collected. He's humble and already knows what he needs to keep working hard to be successful at the next level. He reminds me of how calm and confident Aaron Donald was last year. Get that knee right and watch this kid explode.

Jet sweep motion with Tavon and get the running game cranked up!
