When? At no point during last season did he show better running ability than Chandler, last season’s leading rusher, outside of the Vandy game, which was an anomaly game for him..,,.150 of the 246 yards came on 2 long runs where he didn’t get touched. The other 96 yards came on 23 carries vs the 2nd worst rush defense in the conference.
Is he talented, yeah. Can he be a good, serviceable back, yeah. But special? Got a long way to go before he’s “special”, if he can ever get there. Lewis, Henry, Garner, Webb, Cobb....those guys were special and you knew it as soon as you saw them. Nothing Gray did last year, aside from a few lateral cuts here and there showed he is “special”.
