What Syrinc said. Gio only has 18 carries (smallest sample of the bunch), therefore his longest gain has a bigger impact on his average than Hill (25 carries) or Mixon (52 carries).

Will he become the best RB ever? Maybe. But the hype is just silly.
Not I. I'm for whatever improves our run game from 28th in YPC. If that's starting Gio, so be it...but I'd be willing to bet that if Gio gets 15 carries per game, that 4.9 average is going to plummet like a rock dropped from the Empire State building.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
