Print"Over-aged, will be 24-year old rookie. Missed a year for academics and
could require time to absorb a complexed play book. One year producer.
Doesn't have great energy or burst to make tacklers miss or pull away in
the open field. Not explosive. Lack finishing speed and can be tackled
from behind. Not as physical as would be expected for a man his size.
Not decisive. Pitter-patters in the hole too much instead of pressing the
line. Stops on contact and gets stood up. Has marginal lateral quickness.
LACKS COORDINATION and can be knocked off stride more easily than he
should. Tight hipped, overly muscled and somewhat robotic in his
movements."
Wow. These guys are high. This breakdown borders on comedy. "Stops on contact and gets stood up." I bet Frank Duong from Purdue would beg to differ.

This is borderline fiction
“Pitter-patters in the hole too much”? What did they base that off of, his first touchdown against Wisconsin? The guy is a classic one-cut tailback.
“Not as physical as would be expected”? He’s a phenomenal blocker, his yards after contact is obscene, and, as Loogie mentioned, Frank Duong, yo.
“Tight hipped, overly muscled and somewhat robotic in his movements.” I’m sorry, but his improvisation with the ball (see spinning Duong to the inside, the incredible Wisconsin TD, breaking free on the long ISU run) is the stuff of genius.
I’m sorry, but that is not the analysis of someone who spent very much time watching Greene at all.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
scratch that
It could be Shonn, 37, from myspace

Lack of coordination and balance?
What? That’s like his best feature as a runner, in addition to his vision and, as OPS mention, ability to hit the hole quickly
"Lack finishing speed and can be tackled"
Are they serious? I remember a 52 yarder against Wisconsin, right up the middle, and a 70+ yarder against Purdue going over left tackle. Tell me nobody takes these clowns seriously.
thats just dumb
its like they took everything about Shonn Greene and described the opposite.

This is fun. Lets do some of our own:
Pro Football Weekly Prospect Guide (1975) – Walter Payton
“Goes out of bounds too easily. Lacks stutter step move. Questionable durability. Showboats too much. Lacks speed to accumulate large rushing numbers.”

Pro Football Weekly Prospect Guide (1965) – Dick Butkus
“Lacks mean streak. Doesn’t command respect on the field. Has no nose for the ballcarrier. Doesn’t instill fear in the offense.”
Pro Football Weekly War Guide -- WWII
Nazis project well in Europe. Hitler has breakthrough speed and lasting endurance. Patton and troops overmatched, lack finishing speed. Japan and Germany look to be top prospects – can’t miss.
Pro Football Weekly Prospect Guide (1982) - Art Schlichter
“A can’t-lose proposition. Doesn’t take unnecessary chances in the pocket. Excellent odds to hit the jackpot and win it all. Superior decision-making skills. A winner who always goes all-in, even when the chips are down. A sure-thing.”

Pro Football Weekly Prospect Guide (1981) - Dexter Manley
“A cerebral player. Able to read an offense quickly and with great comprehension. When it comes to tackling, he wrote the book. Lives clean and drug-free, makes wise choices.”

Pro Football Weekly Prospect Guide (1987) – Brian Bosworth
“Clean-cut. Works hard, doesn’t take shortcuts. A total team-player, never puts himself above anyone else – not a showboat. Agreeable personality, shows high levels of common sense. Naturally muscular. A guaranteed success and franchise player. Will have a long and storied career; will not be forgotten”

Pro Football Weekly Prospect Guide (1996) - Lawrence Phillips
“Squeaky clean, role model type. Respects others – on and off the field. Downside may be his lack of violent streak, a requirement for any runningback.”
Pro Football Weekly Prospect Guide (1998) - Ryan Leaf
"Consumate team player. Executes offensive game plan by commanding huddle presence, superior decision making ability, especially as it relates to hitting up college players for prescription meds, and extraordinary media savvy. Projects well ahead in every meaningful statistical measure of the weenie noodle-armed Peyton Manning. Projects to 15+ year career – franchise player.
Pro Football Weekly Prospect Guide (2002) - Bob Sanders
Too small to play safety in the NFL. Needs to put on muscle. Lacks athleticism and explosiveness. Unable to finish tackles. Lacks cool dreadlocks.
durability is a plus
I ain't tryin' do you, I'm just tryin' do me
Last album did two, I'm just tryin' do three.

Pro Football Weekly World Leader Guide (1933) - Adolph Hitler
Bad speaker. Lacks passion. Kick-ass mustache will be in style around the world for years to come. Love Jews.
What can I say?
Hitler = good comedy. Just ask Mel Brooks.
