I haven't seen this guy at all, but from what i'm reading, the closest comparison to a current NFL player would be Le'Ron McClain?

Gerhart is tearing the Irish a new one on national TV AGAIN! The guy has got to get some Heisman votes. 26 rushing TD's in a season. Amazing!

As much as I like Toby, I think I really just want the niners to draft his full back. That guy was opening huge holes all game against the Irish. And he helped give Luck plenty of time on passing plays.

He's a beast, but I like his coach even more.

In open space, he's a heck of a load to bring down obviously, but if you haven't noticed.. Gerhart runs through gaping holes all day.
I have to wonder if he can make something out of nothing when he's in the NFL. He has great explosion in and out of the whole and deceptive speed, but much of his big gains are against some very poor tackling.
He's going to have to carry his strong performance not only through whatever bowl game he plays in, but also in the All-Star game he participates in. I wonder if Singletary would go after the guy, because he certain has a sort of John Riggins, Tom Rathman kind of look to him. Powerful guy, always falling forward for yardage.

I want us to draft Toby and make him our FB, ala Mike Alstott. That's the power running game I can live with.
