I like my power backs getting high, giving no fucks, and drunkingly driving trainer carts across the field after a game... not being all emotionally sensitive, justified or not.

IMO being a successful power back is just as much about mentality as it is about a certain type of athleticism.
I would almost guarantee you this kid has Vontaze Burfict-like rage issues, for good or ill.

He'd seek out contact more if that were the case.

This is a reference to his high school film? If I saw it, it's been a while. I guess that's a valid point, if that's what the film shows. But, I reckon from his stats he routinely outruns the entire defense, even when they have an angle? I assume he's not retarded, and knows he wants to gain yards/score touchdowns, even above dealing out the punishment that contact permits, and running away from defenders is the empirically superior means to that end.

I based my rage take on his traumatic home life/emotional turmoil and what I recall is his powerlifting prowess, that being a great place to channel excess aggression. But, I concede it's a razor thin premise.

I always liked Sunday because the defenders wanted no part of tackling him.

You guys are gonna feel really dumb when it's reported that he left his phone on his desk and his buddy picked it up and decided to spend a day fucking with him.

I already feel dumb after reading all this stuff ...

it's obviously not out of the realm of normal for a huge decision to hit people at some point. Kid is moving away from his family, moving far away from Texas...it's probably overwhelming him. Sounds perfectly normal to me. Give this some time for him to get it all figured out and we'll hope he still comes here.
