Sproles was scary as an opponent - the 2003 game in Lincoln - 25 carries = 140 yards

I managed a post without a homer twist a minute ago.  Gotta correct that.

Talking about a small guy doing things nobody else's legs would stay together attempting, Barry Sanders, I submit another Kansas kid that just made tacklers look silly--Darren Sproles.

Wild Bill Snyder didn't even pay attention to freshman back in those times, but the starting defense looked like the keystone cops trying to tackle him in practice, so he went on the field as a frosh eventually.


All Saints fans love Tiny Sproles.

He played 14 seasons and that's not including missing his 2nd season with a broken ankle.
Didn't know this:
- Sproles holds the NFL record for most single-season all-purpose yardage, with 2,696 yards in 2011.
- He shares the record for most receptions in a playoff game with 15.
- He is ranked 6th in career all-purpose yards in NFL history (19,696 yards)
Dayum - Ya he was a Baller

Sort of reminds me of an Offensive version of London Fletcher @ LB all over the the place, only he was a Cleveland kid. Led the whole league in tackles in 2011 and he finished his career having played in 256 consecutive games and starting 215 consecutive games, which is the NFL all-time record of consecutive starts at the linebacker position

The Good Ole Days.  Ell Roberson and Sproles running the ball.

And that was so long ago, our QB from 9 yrs after they were done is now our head coach.
