Scarbrough is a bruising force at the tailback position that possesses great size and speed. Alabama has had a run on talented collegiate running backs (Trent Richardson, Mark Ingram, Eddie Lacy & Derrick Henry) that haven’t exactly lived up to their expectations, considering the force they were at Bama. Scarbrough is set to be the workhorse for the Crimson Tide once again this season. He reminds me a bit of Jamal Lewis due to his unique size and speed combination. Scarbrough ended the season on a complete terror by destroying defenses with 364 rushing yards, 7.9 yards per carry and six touchdowns.
