Bleu, what's his current draft stock?

The running back position isn't the glamour spot it used to be. CBS projects 3rd or 4th round.  Negative is size, but he runs bigger than his numbers.  Great hands and willingness to protect the QB.  His Senior Bowl participation should highlight his positives.

KD in the New Orleans bowl:

Rushing   20 for 102 with 2 TDs
Receiving  6 for 112 with  2 TDs

Was named game MVP.

And while he may not hold it, KD finishes his college career as the NCAA all-time leader in rushing/receiving TDs. 

[lionfan59]

Man oh man he is the real deal!!!! Great College Career and I can wait to see him light up the NFL. YOU KNOW my 49ers sure could use him

I think he did a real good job playing in the Who Dat Dome. 

[BigLion10]

I hope Jerry jones takes a good look at him

[cuz]

Great game by KD hope he can keep the record but records are to be broke. The commentators said he was the number 3 RB in the upcoming draft quite a accomplishment for a young man from Strong Ar. And the 8-2a....😉

[lionfan59]

Dixon at any major school. He was up there in New York last week.

I hope Jerry jones takes a good look at him

A running back is about the last thing Dallas needs.    McFadden has had five 100 yard plus games this year.   Arguably his best overall year as a pro so far.

[WPWells]

Reynolds has two touchdowns so far in the first quarter to pull him back even with Dixon

[WPWells]

Keenan Reynolds breaks the record back from Dixon

[bleudog]

Reynold gets his third rushing TD on a QB draw with about 4 minutes left in the game.

The season will end with KD second on the NCAA career TD list. Might not be in a class by himself, but in the class he's in it don't take long to call roll. Good job KD.

[Ventman]

I was really hoping KD would keep the record. He is still gonna be a heck of a player on the next level.

[WPWells]

Very true, bleu

[bleudog]

Well, there are only five NCAA players who have scored 75 or more TDs in their career:

[whippersnapper]

Hey bleu could you possibly explain how KD only got 5 TDs his sophomore year? Was he injured or anything?

Some of it might have been the ankle but a lot was the coaching change. Dykes setup the '12 team up for a resume season then took the California money and ran. Sonny wasn't looking to be around and what he left around KD showed it.

2012
Record: 9-3, .750 W-L% (25th of 124)
Coach: Sonny Dykes
PS/G: 51.5 (1st of 124)

Holtz's first year wasn't much offensively period. 

2013
Record: 4-8, .333 W-L% (89th of 125)
Coach: Skip Holtz
PS/G: 19.2 (112th of 125)

Coach Holtz did finally figure out how to get the pieces to work together in years two and three.

2014
Record: 9-5, .643 W-L% (36th of 128)
Coach: Skip Holtz
PS/G: 37.4 (14th of 128)


2015
Record: 9-4, .692 W-L% (33rd of 128)
Coach: Skip Holtz
PS/G: 37.5 (17th of 128)
