Douglas has been called "The White Adrian Peterson" by teammates because dude is just super ripped, strong, and fast.
I hear you guys saying FB with him, but I don't think that's accurate. I haven't heard a single coach say they intend him to be a FB, or that we ever did.
I wish he'd move to defense actually. With his speed and fearlessness to hit, he'd be a stellar ILB. With that speed and quickness, he'd be a sideline to sideline tackling machine and probably able to fly through holes in the line and get to the QB as well.
He might have actually gotten drafted at some other school. He almost went to GA Tech, and probably would have been their feature back there for his junior and senior year and done well enough to make it to the league. But here, he's going to have 3 or 4 RB's ahead of him, which is unfortunate. This kid is a crazy good athlete.

You guys also forget to mention that Bauta will be put in there on pseudo-wildcat type plays as well.
It's going to be interesting if Bauta can occasionally pull up and be accurate with his arm once teams start thinking run every time he's in.
This could be real interesting though. You put Hicks or Hall and Gurley or Douglas in front of Bauta blocking in the second layer and this could be very fun to watch.
Our options are incredible this year. Just hope the OL can play better.
