Maurice Clarett and Chris Wells are two other kids who had a history of nagging injuries in high school, both significantly larger kids. Both carried the ball fewer times. Wells played against far lesser competition.
Let's be clear here however, Edmonds ran for almost 2,300 hundred yards in 12 games.
Tyrell Sutton was supposed to be too small, will get injured, etc, etc.
Watch Frank this year, you'll be blown away.
