His pylon jump into the end zone and switching the ball from his left hand to his right to break the goal line was remarkable. If you didn’t notice, go back and watch the replay, or someone please post a video. He truly is a special talent.

He’s definitely getting taken in the Top 3 rounds if he stays healthy. Probably our most NFL ready player at that position since JJ.

Here you go

The hops and the shimmy are awesome but that 1st jump cut is now something next level.

This one is the hops, of course.

And one of the jump cuts

There's some better examples out there, but this is pretty good.

I love how patient he is. He shakes someone at the LOS constantly. He's breaking ankles out there this year.

I would take him over any other back in the SEC, and other than Jonathan Taylor there's a case to be made for him being one of the best in the country. If he continues at this rate then I don't expect him back next year.

I think that's part of the reason why Lee is getting broke in as a freshman. Nick is gone and Kylin will probly go also. I sure hope he comes back to try for a Heisman or some reason but its doubtful.

I think it's more due to lack of depth. Murphy is out for the year. Kareem Walker got here late. Nick Gibson got hurt vs USM and we brought in Witherspoon. Gibson still not 100% AND Witherspoon got knicked last weekend, but apparently is not serious. Thankfully Hill wasn't hurt long during the USM game. Dodged a bullet.

It's simply amazing all 4 RBs have been injured at some point this year.

We'll likely be very young at RB next year. Witherspoon is likely your starter with Marks and Johnson (assuming they sign) contributing as true freshman too if I had to guess. If we can get anything at all out of Walker next year then that will be bonus.

Is there not a stud JUCO RB we are after? Seems like there wouldn't be many if any comparable programs that can offer the same path to a starting role.

We will be young but Marks, Witherspoon and Johnson is a pretty talented backfield. Johnson is a lot bigger than I thought. He could have more of a bruiser type role.

Marks and Witherspoon are both home run hitters. Really excited about them. As always the biggest issue with young backs is pass protection.

Kylin Hill looked like a flying squirrel on that pylon jump.

Kylin leads the SEC in forced missed tackles

Probably leads the conference in air yards too.

I love Kylin toting the rock but if he wants to go pro he has to learn to pass block better. The NFL doesn’t like their multi million dollar QBs getting blindsided because some RB is lackadaisical in pass blocking.
