Does The Black Mamba spell trouble for the Temple Running Back?

3

DeAnthony Thomas is an amazing athlete. His surpise commit to Oregon over USC came down to his desire to play running back instead of defensive back. He is clearly one of the best defensive backs in the country based simply on his overwhelming performance in the all star game. He was everywhere! He is lightning quick and has the potential to be an amazing running back. The biggest concern is probably about his 5'9" 160 lb. frame, but in an open offense like Oregon he can probably excell. He has pretty much the same traits as the running back from Temple, but he is probably one of the few athletes in college football that can beat out the Temple running back in almost every category. Should be an interesting competition for the two, but the Black Mamba must have felt that he has the advantage since he took the challenge.
