His presence on the field was enough to help out. I don't know if I would say his motor was never there but maybe would say he did not finish some plays. Quite a few times he was in the backfield and either missed the tackle or just did not know who had the ball and stopped. He had the #1 recruit tag on him since his freshman year and had unreal expectations. He will still get drafted high due to him just being a physical freak. He has an unreal first step and quickness that can not be taught, at his size, 300 lbs.

These are some I noticed while watching replays of the game. Also added a couple gifs. More than 50% of his snaps his first step was similar to these. The ball has not made it halfway to QB, crazy.

That is freaking ridiculous. I don't care what people say about him, that is unbelievable. What an absolute monster.

He should have gone to Bama. Saban would have turned him into a monster. We have a system for tearing down that 5* attitude and rebuilding team leaders. Just ask King Henry. He almost left Bama as a freshman because he wasn't getting special treatment like in HS. 2 years later he wins the Heisman and all you hear him talk about is his teammates and his coaches. None of this "me" shite.
