This is Norm's kind of RB.
Re: 2012 Day 22 – Will Gregory, Jr.
Yeah. All those cliches like being in the right place at the right time, timing can be everything, etc. come to mind. Will redshirted his first season and got acclimated to the academic side of college. Spring Practice plus four years of eligibility at TB/HB. The stars have certainly aligned for him. He just needs to seize this opportunity.J-Rod wrote:This is Norm's kind of RB.

Heard some say last year that Will reminded them of a young Alex Green Type Running Back
Re: 2012 Day 22 – Will Gregory, Jr.

Will Gregory has impressive breakaway speed when the o-line gives him an opening. I'd like to see him getting more touches.
Re: 2012 Day 22 – Will Gregory, Jr.
Excellent upside.
After clearing the hole needs to locate blockers and see the open running area.

Re: 2012 Day 22 – Will Gregory, Jr.
if there is a gap he explodes through it. He also has the speed to get to the outside. His two longest runs have been around the corner and his longest was against the speed of USC. He can bounce to the outside and out run people.
Re: 2012 Day 22 – Will Gregory, Jr.
. Will Gregory Is that guy that supposes to get at least 15 touches a game. Look at his highlight he so explosive at Dominguez they ran the wing t the wing tis mostly ran and that what he do ran so give him the ball more and I promise you he will break for a touchdown

He is good...but he needs to stop hesitating. When he stops to juke, he stops or slows down. Keep moving young fella!
