LMFAO at anyone that thinks this kid is a consolation prize for us! Kid's gonna make lots of people look silly

In the open field he is on Dukes level i just hope he can take a pounding inside if so he can be a monster

go watch his film, he has nasty vision inside the tackles and doesn't shy away from contact, breaks lots of tackles.

I know but still his size man just makes me a little worried because i dont see the lower body strength like i saw with Duke so thats my only question for COLLEGE but high school i think he can handle it

Joseph Yearby of Miami Central was named running back MVP of the Nike Camp held in Miami on Sunday. After this drill, there wasn't much question who was going to win the award. See Yearby in action in this video by FOX Sports Next.


Joseph Yearby (5'9/190) is a running back from Miami Central that is currently ranked the No. 4 running back nationally in what can be considered the best running back class in several years.

Yearby has already committed to play college football for the Miami Hurricanes. Never one afraid to compete, Yearby came out to the Nike Football Training Camp on Sunday at Barry University in Miami to claim his second consecutive running back MVP award from the counselors.

There aren't a lot of drills in shorts and t-shirts that favor linebackers on the spring and summer camp circuit, but Nike has one drill set up that definitely favors the linebackers by giving a running back a very narrow window to try and beat him without being touched.

The drill is tough enough for the running backs that if the back is able to create enough space that the linebacker only touches him with one hand, it's considered a win for the running back.

To not get touched at all takes a special player, usually a tiny, quick slot receiver type. To do it at 190 pounds, not once, but twice shows an elite level of change of direction.

Yearby lets his play on the field do the talking and the crowd make the noise. After posterizing some poor linebacker, Yearby did nothing more than turn back around with a sheepish grin as the coaches, players, and spectators still buzzed about his elusiveness.

To sum up how difficult this is to do, I watched roughly 100 reps of this drill. Three of the reps had a running back go untouched. Two were by Yearby (the third was Cedric Miller of Miami Norland).

He's never looked it to me, im not saying he cant take the pounding but lets say we dont get Sony or Cook and hes our guy can he be the only 1? Still i cant wait to see if he proves himself as that beast i think he can be

My man, Yearby is nowhere as good as Duke in the open field, the reason being he does not have the burst Duke has. He does have the feet and balance that he has the moves Duke has though. The one thing you dont question Yearby is that he is a superior inside runner and is built for it. Duke is about the same height and was a borderline scar back, Yearby is already bigger than Duke was his freashman year.

When i talk about the open field it isnt just about the speed the quickness is important too because we all know track stars in the open field in football dont always make huge plays. **** even Dorsett doesnt do much when he gets punts so its about just being a playmaker and Yearby can juke guys and set up blockers that i dont think Duke can so he makes up for the less speed. Now as a inside runner i think Yearby is better too just i want him to gain a little more muscle so i will be fully confident that he can take all the pounding a tthe next level

In order to be a good to very good open field runner you must have all the qualities that Yearby possesses. In order to be an elite open field runner you must have all those qualities which I feel Duke has, plus the the burst and speed. Yeabry is gonna be our short yardage back, the kid is elite in between the tackles, even if Sony comes.
