Hardesty is the bankrupt man's Marion Barber. Rave all we want about how hard he runs, his production and consistent presence in the training room shows what kind of back he is.
No chance. He's not faster and is too small right now. Doesn't matter how hard guys at 185 run, defenses intent on killing them do. Posted via VolNation Mobile
Noel Devine is who I think of first. He had over 200 carries as a So last year and 6.3 ypc in the process.
I very much doubt Dorsett was much, if any, over 190 at any point in his career and most likely a good bit less as a true Fr when he went for 1,600+ IIRC.
Still, backs like that are in fact pretty few and far between.
