I sincerely apologize for not listing out every one of these players exact measurements

This is what 5’7” 205 looks like. Shorter guys fill out much differently & are built to play RB.

6’0” 205 guys tend to thrive at other positions. WR & CB, mainly.

Also gadget back isn’t an insult. I’m also fully aware who Will Shipley is. I respect all these guys, but it’s not the norm for SEC.

But its just weird to me you'r enot calling Simon a "gadget back" but Berry and Lindsey are despite the fact they are listed within <15lbs of each other and basically within a half inch of height of one another. Just doesnt make any sense at all, and it really doesnt make any sense to classify 200lb guys as gadget backs in college/nfl etc

None of the 3 LA guys are gadget backs and can all carry a load. Not that loads are even really asked to be carried much any more. This isn't 2003, its modern CFB where vast majority of teams spread carries around and dont really ride 1 guy for 25 carries a game anymore. Fresh legs are a big deal in today's CFB and QBs in alot of instances have also taken a good bit of the running load as well. No 1 back inthe country averaged over 23 carries a game last season and only 7 guys in the country total had 20-23 carries a game.

The "Bell cow"/"gadget back" stuff is so old school nowadays
