The Adrian Peterson comparisons may have been a bit premature, but you can certainly understand why people got so excited about Marcus Lattimore so quickly.Lattimore arrived in Columbia as a a heralded 5-star recruit out of South Carolina’s Byrnes High School, and he definitely made quite a first impression.
The 6'0", 230-pound powerhouse rumbled for nearly 1,200 rushing yards and scored 19 TDs last season.
Lattimore will again have the benefit of one of the best receivers in the country, Alshon Jeffery, to help keep defenses honest.
It should prove interesting to see how much the extra 15 pounds of muscle that the sophomore put on in the offseason will help.
