According to this Huskers.com article, coach Pelini has stated that Dontrayveous Robinson has put on 20 pounds since last season. With the way we've been hearing about Dobson's offseason workouts, that means 20 pounds of lean muscle.

I'm just picturing those plays last year where Robinson showed good wheels and power, and we've got some linebackers fearing for their lives this fall!!!

Sounds good to me!

Bring it on....

 
I really was impressed by him last year. He was young and inexperienced and had a costly fumble against Iowa State, but who didn't? I do think he hesitates a bit too much - I like how he pauses and waits for a hole, but I feel like once that hole opens up he should explode through it like a rhino, and sometimes it seemed like he would try to dart and weave rather than utilize his size. I think he could be another Castille but better (and hopefully more responsible).

Amen, brother.

 
I know the roster said 215 lbs last year. But Dontrayveous sure looked bigger than that. And good speed for his size.

I can’t wait to see him this season, lowering a shoulder into the LB with 235 lbs of muscle behind it.

For some reason, every time I look at Trey he just doesn't seem like he's 235. Whether it's on the field or around campus, he looks like a guy floatin around 210. Maybe that's because of his frame, I don't know. Or, maybe I need to get a new contacts prescription. :blink:

I'm pretty excited for the future in our running back corp, though. We are so loaded with depth and talent at that position right now. I think Burkhead and Robinson are the obvious front runners for 2011, but Braylon Heard has a lot of potential and so do the guys that we haven't seen much of (Ward, Jones, Okafor).

Don't forget Aaron Green ;)

D-Train is around 6'1 and looks pretty long, his frame could carry that extra lean muscle without him looking any different. But he does have definate tree truncks for legs. Thats probably where he carries most of his muscle weight. I look at Cody Green in the same way, a frame that can carry his 220 lbs.

I guess Sean Fisher is a good example too.

 
Give me some Robinson and Burkehead/Helu in the backfield with McNeill split out wide. Then bring McNeill back into the backfield and you've got almost 500 pounds of lead blockers through the hole.

Or some fullback trap-type play. I miss Schles and the Macks.

Oh Yeah.

Legate did a pretty descent job last year I think.

Sean looks pretty skinny on campus too, hah.

P.S. Your Eric Martin sigfest is awesome.
