I’m watching highlights from last year, and I realized Brian Herrien is more than capable of that. Dude gets a ton of yards after contact.

Herrien's problem in the past IMHO has been vision... he gets yards after contact because he almost seeks it out... rather than trying to elude/evade it, he just tries to find the spot where he can eke out any positive yardage... It makes him almost never a homerun threat, but definitely a good "make lemonade out of lemons" sort of back...

My hope is that in the off-season he's spent a lot of time watching film and getting better at this aspect of the game. If so, he really could have a big impact in his last year. I've always been a fan, from recruitment to now... would love to see him have a big year and maybe get picked up as a late draft pick or UDFA.
