Denard Robinson the speedy dual threat quarterback from the
Michigan Wolverines may never be a quarterback in the NFL, but what about t he
next electrifying running back since
Chris Johnson? In the 4 years at Michigan Robinson had 700 carries for 4,395
yards with an astounding 6.3 yards per carry and 42 touchdowns. While, on the other hand in Chris Johnson had 624 carries for 2,982 yards with
4.8 yards per carry and 32 touchdowns in his 4 years East Carolina. In Robinson’s last 2 regular season games where he was mainly featured as a
half back and wide out only proves he can be a legitimate half back in the NFL. He
had 23 carries for 220 yards averaging 9.5 yards a carry and recorded 1
touchdown. Another statistic that stands out is how similar
in size they are. With Denard Robinson standing at 6’0 weighing 197 lbs. and
Chris Johnson standing at 5’11” weighing 191lbs. Makes watching Robinson carry
the ball as he cleverly cuts and jukes through defenses leaving them in the
dust with his sprinter speed look more and more like the great running back
Chris Johnson. I may be wrong about Denard Robinson, but the stats above don’t lie
and I think the entire world is in for a real treat the day Robinson has his face on football cards puts on a
NFL jersey.
