Sometimes players just seem to slip through the cracks. That’s often how great prospects can wind up at small schools, but sometimes players with great potential can manage to fly under the radar at big schools.
That’s what seems to have happened to Dameon Pierce at the University of Florida. Pierce is a fourth-year senior who has appeared in 48 games, but only received 374 total touches in his collegiate career. That would suggest a player who was a special teams ace and gadget player on the offense who needed to be schemed the occasional touch. Watching Pierce’s tape, however, reveals a more well-rounded skill set with exciting potential in the right situation at the next level.
