Will he be around at 18?
Derrius Guice, LSU
NFL comparsion: Marshawn Lynch
A nuanced but violent runner with underrated athleticism. That's one sentence to describe both Lynch and Guice. Between the tackles, each back routinely finds and slips through tiny cracks then lowers the boom on a second or third-level defender. Beyond that, good luck with arm-tackle attempts when facing these two. Down the field, Guice and Lynch have great but not elite speed.

Guice destroyed extra defensive attention in his sample of 95 collegiate carries, shredding opposing defenses for 5.88 Yards Created per attempt (third-best in the class).

And I just don't see the power that Lynch had. Guice can make a hard hit, but so could Rawls. It's making that hard hit, then powering a group of tacklers forward that made Marshawn special. Just don't see that kind of power with Guice.
