That was the highlight of his career and almost all of his yards were on a 80 yards
draw play where he went untouched.

No thank you.


I thought he was starting to show out in the 2011 Florida game, especially the second half when he was just overpowering them. Samuel breaking his leg on the last play of that game was kind of the last straw for his career.

Stopping that fake punt against Missouri in 2012 was huge though.

Before the injuries I had heard Adrian Peterson comparisons. Who knows I just hope he has a great season.

No doubt a DGD and a team player but I'm not sure that he even averaged 3 ypc but he was a factor in the game.

Would not worry about vision yet
Fournette just got fired for lack of vision. He was three years in to his NFL career.

I said Fournette had no vision when he was a Fr. at LSU and got blasted for it.

Our OLine, not sure it matters. Bama wins one heisman after another for rbs with zero vision but with a mauling OLine.

Best vision I have very seen was TG3, it rubbed off on Chubb and Michele.

Not by me. It's the absolute truth. I've never seen high school hype take someone all the way to the NFL.

Yep. Same size, speed and running style.

Trent Richardson had no vision and it showed when he got to the NFL. He was such a gifted runner too.

Zeus didn't exactly show great vision last season. I know he's still getting back to full speed but that shouldn't make his vision bad.


He was still in the recovery mode from his injury. When you are wondering if the next tackle will end your career your vision is on who's coming at you instead of where do you need to run.
