Absolutely. I just hope for him personally that he does not battle the injury bug in the NFL. There's a small part of me that is concerned with his size at the next level, because he is not a huge guy in stature and if he gets dinged good... he does tend to cough up the football and/or may get hurt.
Last year he consistently fought a nagging hamstring injury and it was a toss-up if he would finish runs in one piece after he pushed it into overdrive. This year he was relatively healthy all season long, at least compared to last year, and I think truly was able to show people what he can do when he hits those holes and turns on the burners.
