Mike Barnett no doubt man ... just imagine pat white at quarterback and slaton and owen and tavon ... tavon was a special player .. tavons start n stop speed is rare .. it suprised me the rams dont utilize him more ..
Moses Skjei shit tavon was the best athlete in the country that year period ... if he woulsve started at running back all year he would've shattered records ...
He'll be limited if drafted into the wrong scheme, but limitLESS if drafted into the right one. Darren Sproles, Danny Woodhead, and even Randall Cobb (more of a true WR but still gets a ton of plays out of the backfield) all take really good offenses with great QB/WR/TE trios to the next level. Not to mention the return game. I'm excited to see Austin, De'Anthony Thomas from Oregon, and Dri Archer from Kent State make the jump to the NFL over the next few years. All 3 look like Sproles clones.
Ridiculous speed. Some of those plays were just plain special. He should be the first receiver drafted. Much harder to find a guy of his ability than, say, Keenan Allen's.
I personally played againist Tavon Austin in high school, my brother played againist him in pop warner he always been a threat & hes small so hes more of a slot receiver hes often compared to Wes Welker, hes a Wes Welker, Reggie Bush type, so he.gonna shine regardless Bmore all day, bet The Pats take em if they dont re sign Welker!!
Russell Wilson and Tavon Austin WITH Lynch both in the backfield... Who gets it defense??? The bruiser that will run over you, or the guy that will run BYE you!!! HECK YES! Go Hawks!
WOWWOWWOWWOWWOWWOWWOWWOWWOWWOW.This wasn't against James Madison folks. This was against the SOONERS. We will miss you Tavon and Geno; I know the rest of the Big 12 schools won't. Cars.
Newsflash for you. Tavon Austin was the best player in College Football this year and it really isn't much of a debate. WVU's defense was horrendous and it cost Tavon the Heisman. But I digress,,,, To comare Tavon Austin to Danny Woodhead is a joke. Tavon will be a pro-bowler by his 2nd year (if not rookie year).
well yeah, but tavon will make more plays overall in my opinion. as a rb/wr/kr/pr.. i think patterson is the better receiver because he has much better size, other than that tavon has everything else better than patterson at the wr position.
5:56 inexcusable to any major conference team's players. 6:36: if he caught it why jump to the next scene? no song involved (time constraint), show the reaction, that was triple coverage. 7:14 referee fell down. awesome. All-in-all: Dunbar high; poet; talented; special. Whole-heartedly wished they would have beaten OU.
But w/e sometimes he needs to just take the kick off and run it (not always try to make a TD out of it... Its going to be much different in the NFL being much better ppl who only play special teams and being a lot better kicks .. So I hope he dosent always try to take it being deep in the endzone ...
Jeff Demps? The guy on IR? LOL I hope you are kidding. Demps was talented at Florida, but Tavon Austin is a once in a generation talent. He had never played running back at the college level, Dana decides WVUs running game sucks, so what does he do? He puts Tavon at RB and gives him 21 carries and Tavon Austin breaks a Big 12 record rushing for 344 yards and having 512 (512!!!!!) all purpose yards that evening...
I don't know if I want the Lions to draft him or not. We just got done with the Titus Young thing and this guy..... I don't know. We NEED everything he bring,s but what if it baggage down the road.
they could of, but made so stupid mistakes in critical situations, like how the hell do you miss a easy extra point, that was the difference in the game. and wvu dropped 2 interceptions on 2 drives in the 4th quarter.
Evan Williams wes welker isnt close to austin as far as athletism and pure speed and angility.. welker was a great player im not taking anything from the man but the systems he played in fit his strengths and dont forget wes had tom brady and peyton manning throwing him the ball lol thats like 6 rings between them 2 guys .. imagine if tavon was on that 07 undefeated patriot squad with brady and the most talented football player ever in randy moss ... imagine having to worry about randy going deep and tavon in the slot lol .... id like to have seen moss and tavon line up and have a 100 yard dash.. tavon would win the first 30 to 40 yards then moss would get them long legs moving and pull away
