Some people, no matter how fast they are, can't outrun their own demons.

 

 

 

EDIT - here's Damon Benning talking about LP. Worth a listen.

His run against Florida was the most impressive offensive play of that game (and among the I've ever seen). Then maybe his first catch and run early. Then fraziers run, which was more a microcosm of the game than in and of itself impressive.

 

LP is probably the best "pure runner" that I've seen at the college level.

 

A tragedy all around.
