Saw him working with the DBs at the combine, I think they said he's with San Diego?!? I wasn't aware of that. I still remember him running down guys from behind and punching the ball loose. I think once he even ripped the ball straight out of a WR's hands (Jerry Rice maybe?).
I currently line in Tennessee, lots of college fans - I constantly ask them besides issues like what you said, did Arian look like he had the potential to become the most productive RB for the last two years in the NFL?,.. . and every single college fan I talk to said no way - for some reason he looks "better" in every way in the NFL they tell me ...It's not often that a college player transforms himself to do so much more on the next level
1. Kubiak's offense 2. He was learning to be an all-around back in college to earn PT, something the staff might not have been good at coaching him with, and also capitalizing on.
which is what makes him impressive because he realized that he had to transform himself and he actually put in the work to do it.
