sounds like he put himself into the draft with his pro day performance ~ kudos to him. got me thinking about him a few years ago when he came onboard and most were wondering where he'd play in college - defense or offense? Well, coaches put him on defense and he's now NFL bound which got me thinking about that decision 5 years ago. Even Wells himself was iffy on the move, initially.

In retrospect, do you think it was the right decision?

I wonder what his career would've been like as a rb or safety and whether he would be in the position he is now had he played one of those other two positions since he must be a freak of an athlete. Had he played safety, would he be thought of as an early draftee with his 40 time, other pro day metrics, etc? That 40 time also seemed a lot better than most of the other RBs coming out this year, but makes you wonder if he had the skills to actually play rb.

A safety with that kind of speed would have to be highly coveted by the NFL though, right?

Anyway, food for thought and gives insight into the development projection that our coaches go through when evaluating recruits.

As for the other seniors, I think most had their college positions predetermined other than Christian Holmes or Jameon Lewis, but seemed like MSU got the most out of their talent as a LB and WR. I guess you could argue about MoJo and that playing TE was the best move for him too by the coaches which turned out to be.

This kind of is a similar debate on Shumpert of playing defense or offense that we had 2 years ago. Of course, shump is more a rb than a defender to me and he doesn't have the speed that Wells has either. I don't think Wells has the rb ability of shump either as well.

End of the day, really happy that yet another player in Wells is going to get a legit shot at playing in the NFL.

What say you?
