Warren Norman

Norman is actually one of the most talented runners nationwide, but the situation around him at Vanderbilt is just atrocious. It also doesn't help that he had some knee issues last year. Still, his talent makes him a threat to go off one of these days. He's averaged over five yards per carry in his college career, including six yards per carry in 2010--something that hasn't been done by a Vandy runner (with at least 70 carries) since Lew Thomas did in 2001. He's a threat to make big plays as a runner, receiver or returner. It's just a shame he's not on a better team.

Norman was nothing less than fantastic as a freshman, totaling 783 yards and three touchdowns on the ground (5.4 yards per carry) while returning three kickoffs for touchdowns. He also caught 19 passes for 108 yards and one touchdown. Norman isn't built like a workhorse back, but his productivity might compel Vanderbilt to treat him as such. If he can stay healthy and protect the ball in 2010, Norman should remain one of the country's most dangerous runners. If the Vanderbilt passing game can get on track (not likely), his production would explode.
