I thought that Jerious Norwood was the steal of thte draft, even more so than Leon. I had watched Norwood play for most of his college career at Mississippi State. If you all only knew how bad a team Miss. State was (And still is but still better than last season and the other seasons that Norwood was there), you would be able to appreciate such a player. This guy had absolutely nothing else on his team to keep him from being keyed on and he was still effective in the SEC. This guy broke a 80+ yard run off against the Gators, and we all know how much speed the state of Florida brings to the table. For him to have that kind of success on a nothing team like Miss. State, I just knew that he was something special. Now, the only real issues that I see with him is that he runs too straight up and his lower body is a bit slender. If you don't know right now, you heard it here, the guy is going to be a star!
I got a pretty good look at him during the pre season, and I agree that he's going to be a really good player. Very, very fast, but like you mentioned he does run upright, and that would worry me a little. We should be seeing what he can do in Atlanta soon
I wouldn't be betting against his success, I'd be betting that he isn't our franchise back.....doen't mean he can't be successful
