That's the problem with lightweight RB's. trying to make the transition to the next level. They're excellent and exciting players at the college level, but the NFL is a different story and they struggle to fit in. There's more to playing the RB position in the NFL than just running, you have to be able to block also. 165-70 lb. guys are not going to block anybody in the NFL.
