If you told me he rushes for 1,400 yards and has 10 rushing touchdowns, could he be the most improved player of the year this year?

Listen, you guys know where I stand.

Thought it was a pretty bold pick.

Didn't totally love it.

But I think I love, by all accounts, the human being.

He's an easy guy to root for in terms of what he stands for, high character, his story coming from Boise.

I like little running backs.

I was a huge Darren Sproles guy.

Barry Sanders, one of my favorite athletes of all time.

He was like 5'8".

I'm not comparing Ashton Jets to Barry Sanders, but I think it's fair to think 1,300, 1,400 yards and five more touchdowns total in the aggregate.

I think in a perfect world, you would like around 1,300 yards rushing

I think his receiving numbers, if you tell me he catches 55 balls again, that's good.

I think you'd probably like that number to be more like 600 yards.

Not as terrible.

I would have guessed, if you said how many catches did Ashton Gentry have last year, I would have been like 20.

55 catches?

Who led the team?

Bowers was 64, Trey Tucker with 57, and him with 55.

God, they had a rough year.
