Ive said it once, I will say it 1000 times if I have to. Duke needs to have the same **** non contact jersey on that Stephen Morris has. Or give him a pink jersey for all I care. (Two hand touch only. Lol.) This kid goes down and we are phucked. I like what i am hearing out of Greentree from Dallas Craw and Danny Dill but man this aint 2002 when Gore went down and McGahee just stepped right in. I am really nervous. Look what happen to Dyron Dye!! Got hurt and he is done for the year maybe! Smh.

I agree with the yellow jersey.
 
Duke is special, he will leave here as the GOAT RB in Canes history, kid helped put us back on the map,
 
The difference is when we see his highlights we will see plays against UiF and FSU. Duke struggled a bit in the big games but we should see that change.

Yeah, those highlights are missing plays against KSU, ND and FSU. In order for Duke to be the GOAT he has to ball out in big games.

UF will be a great start this season.

Agree, he did have a great game against VT though, he was a bit banged up for F$U if I remember correctly, so I'm hoping as Lu pointed out that he stays healthy.

My favorite clip was honestly a 4-2 run against BC, Duke just put his head down, took the punishment and moved the chains. He may be smallish, but doesn't play that way.

I've been a fan since the late 70s and he is the best freshman I have ever seen at Miami

He doesn't have prototypical size, but still runs like a much bigger back. He's got the vision and breakaway speed, so I would say yes he will have the upside of those guys going to the next level.

In college, for sure. It suits his game.

The NFL is different because of his size, but the league is changing. Duke's playmaking ability and versatility will be valued. A guy like Tavon Austin is flying up boards, and Duke is that kind of all-around threat that can run, catch and return.

The return skills alone will make him a game-changer in the league. If he's around 205 when he goes the NFL is that really that small anymore?
