He is still a junior so this 1st year under BA's tutelage will probably limit his plays until he is able to pick up the blitz, etc.
I know youtube can hype anyone to look all world but there is a ton of film on this guy that really impresses. Its the small things that I notice that he does where you either have it or dont because it cant be taught.
If you get a chance watch how he decisive he is when hitting the hole and getting the most out of every run by falling forward. He could run over you & shed tackles too and last but not least he is able to go lateral and dance a little if there is simply nothing there if a play gets blown up. He sets up blocks and has been able to outrun 2nd level defenders.
OK maybe I have too much of a man crush on this guy but this type of RB is special. I admit I did not see too much of him at GTech but hopefully there are some GT or ACC people here that could have some input on how he performed against FSU, VTech, Virginia.
I loved Willie but he really needed space to excel and be effective. This Dwyer kid will make space or at least be decisive and strong enough to split defenders. Could you imagine Pouncey, Kemo pulling and that big FB blasting through with Jonathan at 6'1" right behind that. This may be like the good old days where we told you we were going to run and we ran at will with the bus to run out the clock.
Come on BA optimize these skilled players.
