I don't even consider a rating that doesn't have him listed in the top dozen to be legitimate.

[Mean Green 93-98]

His stock has dropped from 18 on may 5th... I guess his not playing in the spring game dropped his stock.

Go Lance Go! Go Mean Green!

UH RB Bryce Beall ranked #13 on the list. A little surprising because many don't consider him the best RB on the team, but he's a very solid workhorse, every down type back.

Beall is a good running back, but he's not close to Dunbar, and I don't mean that as a slight to Beall at all. This just goes to show you how the success of a program elevates the opinion of its players. Too bad.

I think Dunbar is a stud too. I don't know if program really affects this case. UNT RBs have had a better history lately in the NFL.

I'm guessing measurables and "potential" are the bigger difference. Using a similar coomparison with QBs. I don't think Keenum is the 9th best QB coming out of college this year. And to show a little lack of balance, I don't think Kellen Moorie is the 10th best QB coming out. I think Moore is awesome. But the 6'1" and 6'0" heights alone drop them. Dunbar may be the best college RB, but the scouts may not think he can make it big at the next level.

Lance's weight is the same or higher than 12 of the 21 players ranked ahead of him. Some of the players listed weigh in the 180 pound range, which is not what NFL teams are looking for in a RB.
