Am sorry but I don't buy they bull**** of Gus Edwards wanting to "be the man" and not wanting to sit behind Walton. The reality is that if he was consistent and continued to develop like he showed the potential to, he would easily be splitting carries with Walton. He has the frame of that big bruising back that any coach would love to use the grind down a defense. A 1-2 punch of Walton and Edwards would have made any coach an OC happy. The reality was he could never break through and distinguish himself to be "that guy". He was going to be solidly 2nd string at best, and not a 1-2 punch, because Walton was just clearly a better RB, and Gus could never really put it all together.
He went to RU because it was a cake walk and their backfield was a joke. If he truly had the talent and had been developing the way he should have, he wouldn't have had to leave here, because he would have been the "thunder" part of a 1-2 tailback combo. Now he can be the least mediocre RB on a joke of a team, maybe run up some stats, and get a few looks, and hope that by showing a few "flashes" in a few games here and there, his size and frame might tempt some team to take a chance on him in a late round hoping he develops.
Bottom line is, he didn't go to RU because he wanted to break loose and knew he could be a superstar if given the chance.
