Didn't watch the whole thing, but Got-****, dude looks like he's being shot out of a rocket. Gets to his top speed really quickly.
That being said, we already have our "smallish" back in Duke; I'd like a bruiser to go along with Duke.
I posted this yesterday:
Side-note: Why do we insist that there must be a "Workhorse" back in this class? It's not like they are riding Mike James for 20 carries a game or anything like that. Duke is an incredible short-yardage back/goal line back with has a great nose for the 1st down/end zone. I say just bring in the best back out there that you can.
I laugh when I see people post something like "We don't need Chestnut because he's too similar to Duke." Huh? You don't want somebody that is similar to Duke? I'm not comparing Chestnut to Duke, but their styles are similar and Chestnut can break a game open like Duke.
Good point. Well taken.
That being said, Duke is a speed athlete that relies on speed, quickness, and lateral ability. He runs hard and if he's going to be nicked up at times as he has been this year, that minimizes his special abilities. My reasoning is that a bigger back that relies less on speed and quickness can deal with the nicks and bruises better. But again, point is well taken.
