    Nothing against him, but we have no need for him whatsoever.

    When you ignore the color thing, what you see is Eric Shelton. He's a big back, but he runs too high, and he's going to get out-leveraged against much smaller players in the NFL.

    But he's got the passion/high motor.

    “That’s by far my favorite victory,” Gerhart says of the USC game. “We were up big at the end and hitting ‘em in the mouth – we ran 15 of the last 18 plays from the exact same formation, where we’d motion the tight end one way or the other and I’d run to that side. At one point one of their linebackers yelled, ‘If you guys run ‘Power’ one more time I’m walking off the field.’ It was classic.”

    Just because he is white does not mean he can't play running back in the NFL. Having that upright running style probably does mean he won't last long doing so though.

    I find it ironic that it is OK to question a guys ability based on his race if the guy you are questioning is white. Try that in reverse and see what happens.

    I think he's going to turn out to be a fine pro RB.
