Yep. Portis and Gore, for example, were difference makers from the moment they first started getting balls....as freshmen...
There's a difference between being productive and being a difference maker - quite a noticeable difference, actually...
They're both good out of the backfield catching balls....And they'll definitely be doing that with Richt calling the shots on offense....
As for their ceilings when running the ball out of the backfield, I think they'll both be productive backs, but I wouldn't be surprised if an RB or two passes them on the depth chart before they finish their careers here....
How is a guy who put up 3.5 yards per carry on about 90 carries underrated when most people on here talk about him like he's a top RB? He was probably in the bottom 10 RBs in FBS in ypc for guys with more than 80 carries.Not sure yet about Yearby but I agree with you on Walton. He's underrated by our fanbase. The bigger problem is our OL.
Yearby has all of the tools for an elite running back power, vision, quickness, receiving and his cuts are next level. When you watch him this year if the OL is much better you will see the comparisons to those guys you just mentioned.
