yeah I found that amazing with as good of a runner he was, but then again Marcus Allen was on the team during that time and got quite a few of the carries as well. I can't begin to imagine what his stats would have been like had he been just devoted to football, he was the main rb for a team, and he hadn't suffered that freak injury to his hip. But he was also amazing to watch in basebal with almost a perfect blend of speed and strength and I love to see the replay of him breaking the bat over his knee. If I remember right he broke it on the barrel and not the handle which is pretty freakin thick. I think the last I'd heard about him before this article was a year or 2 ago when he went back to school and got his degree and it's always good to hear about athletes doing that after they retire or working on their degree during the offseason like I think Shaq and Vince Carter did.
