Solid year, but I really think the kid is one of top RB's in the country. He'll blow up the NFL provided he doesn't get injured.

You don't know what you are talking about. He will not be an every down back at the next level. He's a scat back. The thing preventing him from entering the elite category of RBs in the SEC is that he doesn't fall forward on contact. Almost always gets upended. That's often the 1-2 yards that makes a difference.

Another thing -- he gets run down from behind in the open field. He's got great acceleration, but lacks on top end speed. This is different from Ballard -- who wasn't as quick in the first 5-10 yards, but was faster once he hit the open field and Dixon -- who could be caught, but was tough as hell to tackle for the people that could actually run him down...
