Draft Scout LeGarrette Blount News
02/01/10 - The emotional personality of former Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount was one of the highlights of the Senior Bowl. Blount had the game's most spirited individual celebration after running for a 14-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Blount, a native of Madison, is the Oregon player who was suspended during the 2009 season for punching a Boise State player and then going after Boise State's fans. The Floridian had plenty to prove, and he let his emotions spill over after his impressive run. After the score, Blount carried the football 20 yards up the field, tossed it on the ground and then performed a brief dance. Blount (6-2, 240 pounds) rushed for 37 yards on seven carries. - Joseph Goodman, The Miami Herald
01/30/10 - The Lions said they relished coaching the North in the Senior Bowl because they got an inside look at some prospects for the NFL draft. It should help them assess them as people, not just players. One member of their team was particularly intriguing for that reason: Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount. General manager Martin Mayhew has said he anticipates adding a running back this off-season. The 6-foot-1, 240-pound Blount brings a powerful package. But it comes with baggage. Asked what he was telling NFL teams about the incident, Blount said: “It was a mistake on my behalf. I shouldn’t have lost my head, my emotions. I was out of control. The expectations for myself and my team was high, and we did not play to the expectations that we wanted to. We didn’t perform like we wanted to. It was just a bad night altogether.” What did he learn? “I’ve just learned that I’ve got to keep my composure, watch my temper,” Blount said. “You’re going to have bad games. You’re going to have bad days. The way I handled that situation was the wrong way.” - Nicholas J. Cotsonika, The Detroit Free Press
01/28/10 - SENIOR BOWL RISER: RB LaGarrette Blount, Oregon: Blount still has a long way to go to guarantee being drafted after his well-documented cheap shot of a Boise State player in the season opener. Scouts have been impressed with his contrition in interviews and utter lack of contrition on the field. Quicker than he looks, Blount's raw power makes him an intriguing option for a team needing a big back to run out of the I-formation. - Rob Rang, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com
01/27/10 - Senior Bowl, Tuesday: Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount also impressed, looking like a clone of Jacksonville fullback Greg Jones as a tough runner and willing blocker. A bit raw in pass protection technique and as a route-runner and receiver (quarterback Dan LeFevour had a talk with him after they failed to connect on a throw to the flat), Blount has a ways to go to improve his overall game. But he ran strong and finished every play, even spinning off tackles inside. And it is obvious Blount does not back down from mixing it up on the field as a blocker. Don't be surprised if he comes up big in the game Saturday. - Rob Rang and Chad Reuter, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com
01/25/10 - Senior Bowl, Monday: Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount is looking to put his well-documented issues behind him this week. He measured 6-1, 245 and looked like the I-formation back everyone expected him to be. His straight-ahead running style was not necessarily a great fit in Eugene, although he was productive there. During practice Monday, it was clear he could be a strong downhill runner with a bit of shiftiness in the open field. As a pass receiver, however, he's a work in progress. - Chad Reuter, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com
