Its the only thing I really haven't talked about. We haven't had a QB with his elusiveness and speed. He was stutter-stepping CBs in college and blew around them for TD runs. He's bigger and stronger than college. He's going to outrun some NFL DBs for TDs and its going to be an element to KOC's gameplan, watch and see. 

If this kid can pan out, he can be as good as any NFL QB with his all around tangibles and intangibles. You've read ad nauseam about his leadership and how the whole team raves about his potential and aura. There's a buzz. But I digress, wait to you see some first down runs and TD runs, he's going to be a problem for D's that way.

Yeah, as many of you picked up, my point isn't that JJM is Michael Vick. He's not going to run 12 times a game by design. But KOC might use a play on first down to run him. Or in other situations sparingly to keep a D guessing. It worked like a charm at Michigan for giant chunk plays. SPARINGLY. And then of course all of the plays that break down in the pocket, watch him go. And he also scrambles to throw. That element for an opposing defense is always going to be there to be concerned about. And of course KOC wants to be safe about it, but don't think he won't use JJM's running ability as a very small part of the gameplan. He's be a fool not to.
