Interesting competition for the #3 running back between Neal, Harris and Crockett.
HARRIS!!
I kind of agree with that. I'd like to see more, but I think people are jumping the gun on Harris and his ability. I need to see more.That TD by Harris was pretty lucky with 3 DB's running into each other. He does have great size but may be on the slow side. I like Neal and Crocket.
Last year DuJuan Harris got a total of 17 touches on offense during the regular season. While it´s an intriguing competition going on I agree with vince that most likely special teams contribution will be the deciding factor.
It all matters. But I don't think these secondary considerations come into play unless running ability/potential is perceived as close to equal.Whoever pass blocks and catches the best
Neal got 5 carries and 0 pass targets in preseason last year, then went to IR, with no benefit of scout team work or coaching on the finer points last season. That leaves him with only a minor experience leg up on the rookies. Since we've seen so little of these guys, if Neal has a leg up at this point it's because he had a productive senior season against SEC competition vs. these other small college guys. By the end of preseason, that won't count for much.Harris, but right now if I had choose, I'd say Neal wins it because of experience.

If special teams play, blocking and catching where the chief qualifications, we could peg Kuhn as the #3 and call it good.
