Shipley is a good back, not great.

Hope he proves me wrong. I just don't see it. He might regret this... Could not even be drafted.

Clemson fans are the only ones thinking Shipley goes undrafted. Most big boards have him in the top 10 as a prospect for his position.

Wil plays with tremendous effort and heart. He lacks in size and speed. And needs to hold on to the football. I hope he gets drafted and does really well.

4th if not 5th round. Many great backs slip down tbe board every year. Their slip could be problematic for Shipley. His 40 time better be really good at the combine and pro day.

Correct this is due to comparing every RB to Spiller/ETN when they don’t understand how rare those guys were. We do the same thing with QBs now they get compared to Deshaun/Trevor

I think it's a wash. I can't seem him improving his draft stock much without transferring due to splitting carries with Phil. Of the three options I think returning to Clemson would be his worst as he already has his degree.

I agree. He’s above average but not great, not a game breaker

I think his multi purpose use will be attractive to a lot of teams. I would expect Rd 3-4. He’s a threat running, receiving, and kick returning. That helps with roster flexibility.

That's how I think most people are viewing him.

Agree, and who knows what numbers he could put up behind a decent OL… they did seem to get better as the year went but then Ship got hurt and mafah had a good few games. I still think he’s a great back we just tried to revolve the offense a little too much around him.
