Thats who he compares himself to: “You hear that I’m like those guys, or like [current Cincinnati Bengals back] Brian Leonard(notes),” Gerhart says. “I see myself more like Deuce McAllister(notes) or Michael Turner(notes).” Race factors into evaluation of Gerhart - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Saw him gash USC in person last season. Very impressive. He hits the hole very quickly and always gains a few yards after contact. I think the Michael Turner comparison fits.
Can someone help me understand why the Vikings drafted Gerhart. Don't they have Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor?
