He is the most recognizable Bull in my opinion. I know JPP is on that list too but I’ve always had a problem with recognizing him due to his short tenure here. For me Grothe (although he was done after college) and Mack are Mr. USF.

Al giving him praise is a blessing, Monday nights - he was the best. Only guy I know who could use”acrimoniously “ in a sentence and knows what it means.

Would have given my left one for him to stay his senior year...

I'd have given your left one, too. He may have been a perfect leader to maybe help settle down the team to avoid that losing streak, not to mention his contributions on the field ....... but it's beyond obvious that he made the right choice for him.

His senior year would have been the 2017 year with that epic game against UCF

****, I thought he and Q left at the same time ...... I'd give NEB's left AND right one if he'd stayed. With the year we had without him, we'd have been a lock for a NY6 bowl. Kinda surprised this wasn't brought up before ...... or maybe I just missed it. He still made the right decision for him, though.

Oh it was, we just decided that it really was the best move for him.

 

I do wish we could've seen him with Q one more year but I think being drafted by the Colts was one of the best things that could've happened to him.

Yes that was what I was referring to...that ucf game with Q...could have used him. Even though I am known for my four ball birth defect, you will have to chip in one of your own if you wanted this to happen...

He was part of the now legendary RB class below. The talk when he declared was that he was a mid-rounder not on talent but on depth of the position. Thought it would be a good class but nobody expected this good. Anyway, Colts are a great franchise and drafting Nelson has been huge for Mack.

2017 RB draft class:

4: Leonard Fournette
8: Christian McCaffrey
41: Dalvin Cook 
48: Joe Mixon 
67: Alvin Kamara
86: Kareem Hunt
105: James Conner 
119: Tarik Cohen
143: Marlon Mack 
182: Aaron Jones 
249: Chris Carson
Undrafted: Austin Ekeler
Undrafted: Matt Breida
