So I decided to go back and look at his stats over the years to see if there was any correlation between him getting fat and his production. And boy was there. Whoever told him to gain weight is a moron
2012 he avg 6.8 yds a carry. He was held under 4yds a carry in ONLY 5 games of the 12 he played. He had 6 runs of over 40 yds. In 2013, you could tell the weight was hindering him cause he only avg 6.3 yds per carry. This was obviously going to go down once he faced the elite defenses of duke,Pitt,Virginia. He only had 3 runs over 40 yds. I know he missed games but see above about tough defenses he was going to face. He was held under 4 yds a carry in 1 of 8 games. 2014 he is avg 7.2 yds per carry. Career long run of 80 yds. 2 runs of over 40 yds. He has not been held under 4 yds a carry in any game.
So there you have it. Next time someone argues about him not being to heavy, just show them it's in the stats.
