The one kid who stood out to me the most was David Curry.
He was huge!

Cottrell looks like a fullback in this image. His upper body is as big as Mitchell's and the two linemen walking with them, narrow hips. If he's maintained his speed and wiggle, he's going to be really something to watch.

We all want the "prototypical" sized FB player, but if is one spot that size doesn't matter as much, it is RB. Barry Sanders was 5'8" and Emmitt Smith 5'9"!

Height is the least important stat at RB IMO.

This group could very well end up being our most fearsome group of abacks. Not only for their speed and quickness....but several seem physically capable of dishing out some punishment blocking. I'm in favor of seeing some decleating this year.

I don't know how I missed harris, but I'll be darned if I don't see a lot of Robbie Godhigh in his film. Short, but very physical, and slow, but quick in tight spaces. Wouldn't blow my mind if he plays some down the road.

Especially at RB, height does not equal size. A thickly built short guy is kind of ideal for the position...powerful legs and a low center of gravity help break lots of tackles, plus it's always nice to be able to hide behind the OL so they don't know where you are til you burst through the line.
Sorry awbuzz I had to miss this one (first miss in 5 years), but I am going to Ireland.

I don't know why, but I can't see those photos either when I access the AJC pages directly or when you post the link. That's the same for all the photo pages the AJC posts.

Dedrick stood out to me, idk how much he weighs but he's gotta be close to 230. His tape looks like he has really good balance and power. His speed looks pretty good as well but hard to judge

Biggest arms (considering body size) goes to Alford and Alexander, and there were many, many others in close second place. MMarshall is really put together. Even the QBs looked like LBs. This was a really strong athletic looking group. The players obviously put in some good work in the offseason. I especially enjoyed the many instances of the players interfacing with the young kids.
This is a really nice event with lots of smiles on both sides of the tables. Thanks and well done GTAA.

For those that made it and have already posted, the guys looked good.
As has been stated before, each year the young men are overall impressive with their interaction with the fans (especially the young ones). This was true for everyone from the true freshman to the 5th year seniors. Makes me a proud as a fan for them to keep the great attitude despite the heat.
@DaddyBill - I told Tre' I wasn't going to embarrass him today and to just pretend that I gave him a hug for you.
@awbuzz....thanks for thinking of me and giving #25 that imaginary hug!
