Mini Chalk: The kid has six gears. He is extremely explosive and the closest comparison is clearly Chris Johnson, and that is special to me as Chris Johnson was the top prospect back in '08. Dri has the vision of all great backs and I'm not concerned with his strength or durability at all. He had 20 repetitions of 225 pounds at the combine and had he put up 24 reps I would have given him another plus in the strength category. He's not a #1 RB. He's your lightning to the other guy you got as teams throttle down on the one back systems. Had a slight hiccup this year with an ankle but averaged 9 YPC his Junior year on 150 carries. A star is born every day and here is one of them.
