Not the best RB in Oregon Ducks history . . . One of the highest-rated recruits. Injury problems in college . . . a bust in the pros. Join the lengthy list of college RBs that don’t do well in the pros.

Off the top of my head, the following Duck RBs were better than Royce Freeman, to wit: Mel Renfro, Bobby Moore (Ahmad Rashad), Derek Loville, Maurice Morris, Reuben Droughns, Jonathan Stewart . . .
JStew - beast mode; played through a lot of injuries in college; great human being . . .
I know - NOC -
Stewart rather easily
-
My favorite memory of Royce was the 2016 game when he tapped his helmet to beg to come out after he got laid out for the umpteenth time. I can’t remember who put that hit on him… But digging through the highlights of that game reminded me how fun it was to watch that defense.

LaMichael whatever was better than Freeman.

Yes! Thank you.dnc said: -
Yep . . . At least the Huskies are 2-14 in the last 16 games against the Ducks . . . Better than 0-16.dnc said:
How did those two teams do in the post-season? Rose Bowl?

LaMichael played on better teams and had Chip Kelly as his coach.BleachedAnusDawg said:LaMichael whatever was better than Freeman.
Freeman did not have that luxury . .
He had Helfrich for 3 seasons, including the 4-8 season his junior year. He had Slick Willie Taggart, 7-5, his senior year. The program was trashed by Helfrich and long-time assistants who became Retired on Duty (RODs) and never adapted to the social media and recruiting the new generation. -
Yeah, but who care what happens in the pros? The video is titled "Best RB in Oregon history."trublue said:

Apparently, you missed the topic of this thread: “What went wrong?”
Don’t think they’re referring to Freeman’s college career. -
His career was never the same after that hit.trublue said:Apparently, you missed the topic of this thread: “What went wrong?”

Reuben Droughns in my opinion is the greatest Oregon running back of all time. Had he played with the same talent around him as Lamichael, Freeman, and Stewart, it wouldn't fair. The guy broke his leg early in a big time game against UCLA. Played through it and rushed for something like 200 yards. That ended up being his last game that season, and wasn't quite the same after.

Terrific college RB . . . Have no clue how he passed drug tests and remained eligible. Yeoman work by the support staff.
You have to be a mess to get kicked off an SEC team when you have talent like Onterrio . . . -
