That kid runs ANGRY! :woo He reminds me of a Eddie George/Larry Johnson type of runner. Man I would love to have this kid at Nebraska!
Those are great comparisons. He also reminds me a bit of Ahman Green with how smooth and effortless his running looks. He probably needs to learn to get his pads a bit lower going through the line though. He runs pretty upright and will take some serious shots in college. I don't mean to be nit picky or anything...this kid would be an awesome addition to the team!

Remember that Eddie George ran upright a lot. He turned out pretty good! :thumbs In college that is! :lol:

 
As did Darren McFadden. He has an upright running style. And even with the number of carries Arkansas fed him, he had a relatively injury-free career. Yes, he got dinged up, but rarely did it slow him down or cause him to miss a game.

Depends on the runner. As I recall, Adrian Petersen also runs upright.

 
Brandon Jacobs of the NY Giants would also be another upright runner.

This guy looks like a beast in the making. Glad we have his bro and it'd be nice to land him as well.

The only ding that kid got was when he did a self induced flip into the endzone! :lol:

they should show that clip to all incoming freshmen and review it ever year, with the coach prefacing he video with these word, "okay... *THIS* is why we don't showboat."
