Herschel wasn't bigger...he was 6-1 225. He just looked bigger with those huge shoulder pads and playing next to smaller football players back then.

LFs speed is closer to Walkers also. Bo had ludicrous speed ...

Yeah I found that they were close in size on paper when I checked too. All the old timers in my family swear Herschel was bigger and it's always looked that way to me. Bo was definitely more shifty, but they had the same acceleration and straight line speed. 6.15 and 6.18 for Herschel and Bo respectively in the 60yd.

Marcus Dupree was no slouch either. Those three are in the top 4-5 back of the last 50 years. Drawing a comparison to any one of these guys is high praise. It'll be fun watching fournette tear it up in TS.
