[QUOTE="SoonerPack, post: 741909, member: 9838"] The thing that gives me confidence the kid will be able to keep producing is his skill set. He has a jumpcut that you either have or don't. He is shifty and runs with surprising power. He had one run last game that was just a thing of beauty. The call had him running strong side but as soon as he got the rock he cut the opposite way. He split 2 defenders and ripped off a nice gainer. It was the type of run where Williams would've ran into RIP's backside and lost 2 on the play. His vision appears to be really good. Another thing he has going for him is the support of 12. AR doesn't gush over guys for the heck of it and he sang 33's praises in the spring which tells me something. Yes, Jones didn't play at an Alabama or Oklahoma but to end up the all-time rusher at UTEP is nothing to sneeze at. He ended his career with over 4,100 rushing yards averaging 6.25 per and that included him missing 10 games his JR season. You can either run or you can't and this kid can run. Now the next argument is about his size and ability to be a true workhorse. I get that he's not built like a S-Brickhouse but he's also not some little scatback in the mold of a Dexter McCluster. He is 5'9" and 208 lbs. He has a thick neck and doesn't have anything on him that looks string-beanish. That is a full grown man right there and there have been plenty of studs his size perform at a high level from both a performance and volume standpoint. Here are a few similar in size: Brian Westbrook 5'8" 200 lbs Ray Rice 5'9" 195 lbs Warrick Dunn 5'9" 180 Barry Sanders 5'8" 203 lbs Tiki Barber 5'10" 205 lbs Marshall Faulk 5'10" 211 lbs I am not putting him in any of these guys league rather showing guys his size have been workhorses. I think in a perfect world McCarthy finds a nice balance between he and 88 which should allow them both to stay fresh. Like I said earlier though, I am very excited about this kids future and I think there is good reason for it!
