  • Toledo’s Kareem Hunt showed that he should be in the conversation as the best running back in Mobile. After a nice catch off of a pitch from Liufau, Hunt shook Michigan cournerback Jourdan Lewis out of his shoes on the perimeter for what would have been a gain of at least 20 yards.
  • BYU running back Jamaal Williams put together another solid day in the team-run and pass protection sessions. Just as he has showed on film, he’s proven to be a one-cut, north-south type of running back. My biggest concern with Williams for the Vikings though is that he hasn’t shown the ability to consistently run from the offset shotgun. Williams is at his best when he is behind the QB, seven-yards deep, allowing him to gain a full head of steam while attacking the line-of-scrimmage downhill.
  • San Diego State running back Donnell Pumphrey is one of the smallest players in Mobile and the team that drafts him must find a way to utilize his ability all over the field. Only being 5-foot-8, 169 pounds, he can not be an every down back. Instead, he must be used as a gadget player.
