...and one more thing. Pretty sure that's Marcus Epps Mattison is leaping over in this pic...sounds like the Vikings Mountain West scouts were busy this year.

I watched a couple interviews of this kid and he seems extremely likable and genuine...  he'll be a great fit in the locker room/RB room.

Here's the live video of your picture, Maroon...  impressive display of athleticism on this run.

That leg drive is pretty impressive.  One TD against airforce was amazing.

I'd seen that video. It's amazing how many of these hurdles show up in his clips. That isn't easy to do in tight quarters like that, mixing them in with jukes and cuts. Totally different back but that part of his game reminds me a little of Chuck Foreman.

Nice find on the article. I'd been looking for some pre-draft stuff on him and there's just not a lot.

I love that hurdle move...  it's so quick...  and then he's back running or driving through a defender.

The fact that he can string multiple athletic moves in a short space is impressive...his 4.8 gpa leads me to believe he'll have little problem with the playbook...replacing Murray was high on my list...I think we did and then some...

He was a hurdler & state wrestling champion at 195Lbs from San Bernardino Ca. Zim loves him some wrestlers...

Regardless what the experts say, at the end of the year, the people will be asking why wasn't this kid a 1st round pick because he played like one. It's coming people.
