I'm hoping so. It'd be nice if the light came on for him a few weeks ago, because (and I hate to say it) he was starting to look kind of average. I know our OL is partly to blame, but he was not playing like a 240lb back. He has upped that a bit. He's also broke some long runs with athleticism, so hopefully that continues into next season.



It takes some longer to get it then some. DH in HS was literally only running the ball. He didn't block he was just bigger and faster than his opponents. The god given talent is there but he needs to act like a 245lb back and quit getting tackled like he weights 120. That is the softest big back I've ever seen but he has insane top end speed and a nice burst. He lives and dies off tosses. I was on this kids bandwagon as much as anyone and I still think he can be special if he works out his apparent flaw(s).

For sure. Seems like he may be a lot stronger up top than he is down low. Gotta have the legs to drive through contact.
