There was also a 6'5" RB named Robin Early who played for the Baers in '77.
Niner's TE Jalen Hurd is 6'4" and he was a very good RB in college at Tennessee. In his first two seasons (Fr, So) he had 2595 yards from scrimmage and 21 tds. He was on pace to break the UT rushing record. In his Junior year he got injured and wanted to move to receiver. He ended up transferring to Baylor where he had 900+ receiving yards as a TE hos senior year.
They claimed he weighed 240 when he was playing RB but he looked skinny. He is now listed at 227 as a TE.
Honestly an elite athlete with very little body fat would look thin at 6'4" 240. Not "thin" for a egular person, but "thin" for a football player.
This is Deonte Burton of the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is listed at 6'4", 240.
