I forgot about how mediocre Eddie George was some years. He was a good RB, but his stats really were padded by how much Tennessee fed him the ball. He averaged 3.6 ypc for his career.

I'm not a big college fan so I had to look it up. That'd be Chuck Webb who was a 3rd round pick of the Packers. Cobb wound up having a much better pro career. Webb couldn't even get on the field apparently.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
