Looks small I think it's time we recruit a back with some size , McCombs is a tad small only gonna take a beating for so long before he breaks, give me 5 more Donald Browns
The comments about Newsome's size are really ridiculous. First of all the kid is in 10th grade. He weighed 145-150 as a freshmen. He added 20lbs to his frame and increased his speed in preparation for this season. Knowing the kid's work ethic and desire to improve his skill set, he will likely work his ass off to add on more size and speed this off-season and the season after that. He has also attended numerous camps and combines since he was in, I believe, 7th grade, and has earned MVP honors at many of them. So, he's not an unknown on the recruiting circuit. His size is actually an asset. He gets lost behind the OL and needs the slightest opening to break one. Very few big backs have the speed, agility, balance, or elusiveness that a smaller back possesses. Look at Brandon Jacobs of the Giants. Yes, he's a load, but he's not a game changer. He's a battering ram, that's it. Then you look at a Barry Sanders, a Maurice Jones-Drew, or Darren Sproles. Those guys can hurt a defense in so many ways. They get lost, they're a coverage nightmare, they're elusive, and difficult to get a solid hit on. Newsome's going to bet bigger, stronger, and faster and the offers are going to start coming. I'd be surprised if UConn isn't one of them.
