re: Greatest RB highlight video....

Does anybody else notice something with the players mentioned??
Majority of the players being mentioned as having 1 of the best highlight vids of all time underachieved at the next level. Devine, Shep, Seastrunk, McGuffie, McKnight,etc. And Doucet somewhat did as well. His best season was 772 yards and 8 TDs.
Why is that?
Because most of the guys that have that "wow" type of highlight reel were kinda small and just an explosive player. You cant give the ball to Devine 20x up the middle. Those guys could do that at the high school level, but werent big enough or physical enough to handle that type of workload.
LF can. AP could and does. Gurley can and does. Guice can. Brossette can. Williams can. Etc, etc.

Two of these aren't like the other. Seastrunk and Devine in no way underperformed in college ball...
Devine ended his career with 4,315 yards rushing (5.9 ypc) and 29 TDs.
Seastrunk had back-to-back 1,000 yard+ seasons and averaged 7.5 ypc for his career (roughly).
