Duke Johnson?

The good thing about that video is there are times he's running through nice holes and there are times he's getting the ball with 2 defenders already in the backfield and he's always successful.

Good point. Its one of the best all around highlights I've ever seen because it has a little bit of everything. Not just sick moves against inferior competition.

My favorite play is at 1:39. Looks like a standard breakaway highlight, but peek over at the Safety, his angle, his athleticism (it's not a slow guy), and watch what happens. That's the stuff that translates to the next level, albeit with a less drastic result.
 
His second gear is insane. The run at the 4:28 is unreal. There are 8 defenders in the frame and it looks like they have him surrounded and he just switched into a different gear and was gone.
 
Fisch says believe everything you hear.

This is Devin Hester 2.0
And Hester lived up to it (even with ****** coaches who didn't know how to use him)

And to think that highlight was just of his senior year and only like 4-5 games worth of it....


Here's another Highlight

once again, when its all said and done

those highlights are way up there with GOAT high school

not to mention how solid his commitment was through shapiro gate, kid is a diehard cane and was always rock solid

It's like he grew up watching running backs in video games. That stutter step is so natural and he's always moving forward. Plus the stiff arm always comes out at the perfect moment.

Go look at old Hester tapes and you see that Duke and Hester cut and accelerate like nobody else. Grooms had the same ability also.
 
I saw him play at the muck, one of the best HS games i have seen. He killed it, just amazing! As good as all the rest were in Dade county, he was better in HS. JMO

He didn't have 30 carries a game like some of the others.

Duke will lead us to a title, or he will stick around for four seasons trying.


We need Duke.


Absolutely one of the most important recruits in Miami history, up there with Ray Bellamy, Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar, Alonzo Hightower, Kenny Kelly, Edge, Al Blades, Santana, and Ed Reed

I have the same feeling about this. He, Collins, and Sony will be insane!
 
It's really hard to see, but when he hits second gear you'll note the compression waves building up in front of him.

Note when he gets to the end zone the significant effort to slow down and stop. Maybe he needs a little parachute on his back like dragsters use.

And then those shoes will be smoking . . .

I just don't understand why it would even be a big deal to think Duke could be better than Miller.... I think Mike James is going to be better than Lamar Miller.

Miller only had 9 rushing TDs. Let's compare that to the 28 McGahee had and there is no comparison. Miller made some big runs but he wasn't a complete package.... in the college level there are guys, who are so dynamic, they automatically make your WIN total go up and Miller was not one of those guys at Miami.
