good luck to the young man as well as other juniors declaring.Still day we beat USC if we had ran him in overtime instead of QB.

I wish him the best of luck. He should have stayed in school. He'll be fortunate to be taken in the 6th, or 7th round. Most likely will be a F/A.
Sounds like he's not getting real good advice.
Wonder if he was advised to go pro, or if no college showed any interest?

He's not getting drafted. Foreman is not starting and Warren is nothing close to Donta. I mean not in the same conversation. His best bet was to stay another year at HBack and then go. RBs in the NFL have to be able to cut in the hole. Holes disappear quickly and Warren never showed any ability to do that.
Somebody hiring him as a RB coach? I mean seriously that’s about as close as he’s getting to the NFL. Should of transferred somewhere for his Sr year if he wanted out.
Recored number of players entered the draft though, so a lot of dudes made the same mistake.

He'll be a good back for somebody for a couple of years. He's not going to remain healthy with his running style. He's got good bloodlines, though. Somebody will snatch him up in the 4th or 5th round.
He's sort of a tweener like Terry Orr, but he's a good specimen some team
will be able to utilize.

You do know his dad played in the pros for the Seahawks. He has experience helping him
I am aware his dad played in the NFL... That probably gets him to a camp this summer. That’s about it.
He’s a FA unless a team, like Chicago, reaches for him and grabs him in 7th round.
I feel that a GM is going to pass on him every time because he has had 1 good game at Texas. He has never played a full year as a RB and is unhappy with a position change. I see him bouncing around for a little while then just kind of fading out. He desperately needed another year at a college that would have started him from day 1. He should have transferred. I hope I’m wrong though.
I did say they aren't even in the same conversation. RBs that can't cut and don't have speed don't play in the NFL. Looking good against the Tech D of 2 years ago is going to impress no one.
You said Donta isnt starting. Having season ending injuries sure dont help with that. Donta will be fine.
Warren hasnt proven anything however.
D'Onta had a nice year in Houston until he got hurt. Had a very nice ypc avg and I saw a stat that he led all RBs in yds after contact.
While I wish Warren the best. He is not Foreman. He might not even be an RB in the NFL....if he makes it.
That being said, our staff did not use him and it did the whole team a disservice.
I can see that. His father made substantial contributions as a player during his tenure and it's always good business to treat the legacy kids with the same respect you'd treat daddy with. As far as what he can do at the next level? He does have Derrick henry's size, but not his explosiveness. Maybe he gets picked up super late as a short yardage back, maybe he gets made into an H back. I guess we will see how he does at the combine.
The fact that Chris Warren got a combine invite and Poona Ford didn't is patently absurd. Warren is an injury-prone underachiever with no position, and Ford was the Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Year who dominated Senior Bowl week.
The only way that I see Warren making it in the NFL is to be a really good blocker first, which will get coaches attention, and be a good runner second. Coaches love RB's who can block and protect the QB.
I get that Warren’s dad was a really good player. They only gets you so far though and it seems like that is all he’s living off of right now.
I would be really surprised if he's drafted. He's got no production and I doubt he tests well at the combine. He carries way too much weight to retain quickness. This isn't 1995, his measurable aren't something that is really all that coveted in today's game.

MM....you are asking him to do that which he showed either no talent or desire to do here.He was the least effective blocking RB I can ever remember.
I agree, oldhorn. This is why I don't see Warren being drafted, or making it in the NFL. If he could learn how to be a blocking beast, he would earn himself a job on an NFL team.
