If you give him 25-30 carries and then rely on him to catch 5 balls a game he's going to wear down. As far as injuries, injuries to Gio in 2014 are what lead to Hill having a break out rookie season
The most rushing attempts in a season is 416 by Larry Johnson. 30 carries a game would put him at 480.
Anyway... Barry sanders wasn't built to be a 20 carry a game guy ...
But he Ended up being one anyway averaging 2o carries per game over his career:
I am not comparing him to Gio, but you were just discussing body build to amount of carries.
And as someone previously mentioned most of gios injuries are screen passes where he is left out to dry. I remember 3 off the top of my head
