He did run very soft for someone with his size.
Would you abuse your body continuously if you could just out-athlete everyone on the field?
Let’s also keep in mind that he was rail thin in high school. He needed to put on some weight.
ETA: Is he a legit 6’4?

In his defense, Joiner was bigger than some of his offensive lineman in high school. The blocking for him was non-existent against any decent team.
A lady that works for us had a kid playing center on that team. He was over 6’ but not much over 200. Watching that poor kid play against the Hoover nose guard was brutal.

Eh, if we want to play the semantics game fine. He played soft, which is what people were trying to argue. He did.

Again, why I said it wasn't necessarily a bad strategy. However, when you are recruiting a RB, for one that was 6'3 215 in HS, not seeing a willingness to really lower your shoulder is a legit concern.

Not sure, haven't seen him recently. In HS he was a legit 6'3 I'd say.

Not even close to rail thin in HS. He was a monster since 15. From a physical standpoint he was the most impressive kid I’ve seen up close.
