Particularly if our QB situation turns out as well as many of us think.

Max Lemming has him as the No. 1 FB in the country.

The reason Line will play in the NFL is the flexibility it allows teams to have at the RB position. Having a FB that can run the ball if the RB's go down with injury in the same game allows roster flexibility as well. Teams are able to carry one less RB on the 53 man roster (see John Kuhn). Add the fact that he can be a special teams standout and that makes him a great NFL prospect IMO.

yeah, I'll never forget that goal line tackle at TCU that pinned them deep in their own side of the field late in the game.

Yep I remember that one as well. Playing pretty banged up too if memory serves.

Are you talking about the tackle and forced fumble he caused agianst TCU to open the 2nd half in which Parks recovered for a TD?
