I'm not suggesting a traditional RB role for him, so it doesn't matter if he was the ball boy in HS. The kid is in a different gear than everyone else on the field. We can give the rock to DS for 2.5 yards. Or we can create something for bottled lightning ... toss sweeps, reverses, counters, screens to get him in open space ... whatever. He's insanely quick. It's the first game, I know ... but our running game looks anemic.
The edges are not the issue. Leave him in the slot and use the 1000 ways Babers gets those guys going.
It's not running outside the tackles that's the issue. It's attacking that part of the field while the LB and S are spread out.
