His size and demeanor remind me of Ingram. But I can't help but see Ken Darby with that #34 he wears.
It's incredible to me how fans use Darby as a punchline for poor play. The kid ran for over 1,000 yards in 2004 and 2005. Darby's sub-par performance in 2006 can be attributed to a piss poor offensive line as well as lingering side effects from a sports hernia injury he had suffered.
Going into the '06 season there seemed little doubt that Darby would eclipse Shaun Alexander's career rushing record. Now he's seen as a pariah.

That escalated quickly. I loved Ken Darby. He lived on my floor in Rose Towers my junior year.

The joke isn't that he played poorly. It's making fun of the shitty, obvious play calling. Anyone who would blame him for anything has Gump level intelligence. I loved Darby.
But those jokes are never going to end. Darby up the middle defined huge Shula era.

This!!! Darby was a total bad arse when at 100% but he just never seemed the same after his injury.
