While playing at LSU?

Ran 21.87 in the 200m while being 6'2 and weighing 235 pounds

I think he answered the elite speed questions.

can we pump the brakes on him? let him do his thing. the higher expectations people put on him only allows for more "disappointment" when he doesn't "live up to the hype".

just let him pan out. He'll be awesome.

Every rb on the team must have been injured for him to do it. Then miles might put a wr to get a few carries

I love what I have seen from the kid in high school and I hope he is the best ever at LSU.

BUT, no running back has ever cracked 2000 yards in a season while playing in the SEC.

It's completely unfair to this kid to state something like this.

false. Too many RBs coming in that will share the carries.

False. When's the last time that happened in the SEC?

I see McFadden had 1,830 in 2007, but that's as close as it's gotten for the last 20 years.

What is a reasonable over under?

1,250 yards?

I know it's suspect, but this is a dumb thread. Be realistic! How about 1000 first??????

I was thinking 1200 myself, but I still think 1000 is a very good goal for a kid that will share carries with at least two other backs!

Yep. Les has always rotated backs. Which is a good thing for the RB long term NFL career. I hope he gets about 20 carries per game. He would need about 25-30 carries to get close, IMO.

I'm being realistic, this kid may be the GOAT, and I'm sure he will go over 1000 pretty easily.

Herschel Walker had 1,891 in 1981, and that's the most in SEC history. OP is suspect.
