While I do think his pro potential is better at DB than RB, he is a number 1 RB at a big name school. Guy was an elite running back. Vision was spectacular with great burst. If AG ran North/south like Heard, he'd win a heisman.
5'10" and a buck 80 with straight ahead speed ain't good enough. He lacks a bit on cutting and picking up yards after contact.
Are you freaking kidding me? Heard will be a stud no matter who he plays for. IMO, he was better than Ameer but had hamstring issues last year.
I remember anther running back that ran like you said Heard ran. Does Eric Dickerson ring a bell? Arguably the best rb of all time. At least top 3.
Agree, Heard is very good and should have had more carries. When Rozier was a sophomore he had 151 carries, the starter (Roger Craig) had 173. AA had 226 carries last year, Heard only had 52. That is a disgrace for a player with one of the best ypc in Husker history.
Burkhead, Rex 6.9 ypc
Heard, Braylon 6.7 ypc
Mike Rozier Sophomore year 6.2ypc
Lawrence Philips Sophomore year 6.0 ypc
Ahman Green Sophomore year 5.9 ypc
Abdullah, Ameer 5.0 ypc
Cross, Imani 5.9 ypc
Marrow, Mike 3.0 ypc
Yeah, but Rozier, was Rozier!!
