He and his dad were the predecessors of the DeVIto's.
Except that we used to win 9 games every year back then.

Interesting. Can you share any stories? I don’t remember / didn’t know

They used to complain in the papers about his chronic under-use. Of course, the fact that he had a lot of ankle injuries didn't help his career here.

But he was on a team with great wide receivers and very good tailbacks. He was never going to get more than 10-15 touches a game under Pasqualoni & DeLeone. He was one part of a multiple offense, not the feature back like he wanted to be.

He was a very productive player - 1500 yards on less than 300 carries in 4 years, better than 5 yards a carry, plus 40 catches for over 11 yards per catch and 3 more touchdowns.

Unfortunately for him, in 1995, our offense also had Malcolm Thomas and Kyle MacIntosh as tailbacks, and we had Marvin Harrison and Kevin Johnson for McNabb to throw to.

In 1996, we still had all three of Thomas, MacIntosh and Tebucky Jones. We had Quinton Spotwood, Deion Maddox and Jim Turner as our new WRs, and we still had Sinceno and Roland Williams at TE. Another offense with many weapons. We won 9 games again.

In 1997, Konrad's junior year, he was hurt a lot. MacIntosh and Dee Brown led the running game and combined for over 1400 yards, Spotwood came into his own as our leading receiver, and Kevin Johnson really started to become a deep threat, and a "real" WR.

In '98, Konrad's and McNabb's senior year, MacIntosh and Dee Brown again led a very good running game, and were now joined by James Mungro as our 3rd tailback.

Konrad still suffered from injuries and didn't reach his earlier snap totals of Freshman or Sophomore year, but they really worked him into the passing game, where he had 20 catches as our fullback.

Pasqualoni was trying to give him a future in the NFL by letting him learn how to be a pass-catching threat out of the backfield. He wound up with 9 touchdowns that year.

A very talented player, but hurt too often, and not good enough to be the whole focal point of the offense.

Thanks for the info. Funny I forgot he really didn’t put up big rushing numbers 433 rush yards was his best season
Only broke 1,000 all purpose as a senior

Hopefully his next tweet is announcing a seven figure donation for NIL

He on 613 all purpose as a senior.

Oh yeah I read that wrong. Never got close to 1K all purpose.
Even more of a clown move to be drunk tweeting about Coach Fran.

His initial tweet was stupid, but people using his stats to detemine his impact are also stupid. He was never going to put up big numbers here because his primary job was to block. We should marvel at his ypc considering 95% his carries came on FB dives with no lead blocker. And the people saying the coaches did him a favor by letting him catch the ball are clueless. It was no favor. The guy was legitimately skilled and athletic. He was a weapon out of the backfield. NFL teams don't draft unathletic unskilled guys in the second round.
