It’s a mentality thing, DP. Akers flattened Buda Baker a year ago in the Wild Card game. But I see him running backwards too much for my liking.
Earl Campbell—out of college—was listed at 5’11”, 223 lbs. But was a devastating runner. And that was because he was looking for someone to plow over. Don’t be the Hunted. Be the Hunter.
And you had some backs smaller than that who people assumed were tipping the scale in the 220 range—William Andrews, 6’0”, 200 lbs and Walter Payton, 5’11”, 205.
These backs understood that you either deliver the hit or be on the receiving end of the hit.
