Dontae could be a weapon in redzone situations imo

he wasn't one at cuse. NFL will be no different.

I don't think that's particularly fair. He had a weird knack for breaking tackles and bowling forward inside the 20 yard line.

rewatch the clemson and fsu wins. You give him the ball within 20 of the goal line, Dontae makes it work.

I actually rewatched the whole season over the last month on youtube. Ive seen that kid build momentum and get stopped in his tracks by a solo DB tackle wayy too many times.

Did you ignore the runs where he ran over people or dragged defenders?

I see both sides to this argument. There were times where it seemed like he could not break that one tackle to get that 3 yard gain into a 20 yard gain. Then randomly he will bull doze someone.

No - him not breaking tackles happened where more than him truck stickling people. i liked him as a player but it is what it is. I hope he makes the team, for sure.

I’ll remember Dontae as the workhorse who got the dline and lb’s on their heels and huffin so Moe, Jarveon and the pass attack could take advantage.

Great ball security and tough as nails.

That's what I'll remember on the field. But, probably the first thing for me is going from homeless in high school to a Syracuse grad is a pretty remarkable story.

We are going to miss the way he protected the ball, he must have had a really strong carries to giveaways ratio.

Which is super super important to say the least.
