Gerhart had almost 10,000 yards rushing in high school. I think that is in the top 5 in history. He also plays on the baseball team. He has had to overcome the stigma (i.e. white running backs should be moved to fullback). He is as good as Dixon, if not better. AD has really stepped it up this year, however. When AD is in shape and running hard, he is special. When he is fat and lazy, he is ordinary.
