Mike Weber and a closer look at Urban Meyer’s running backs track record

Mike Weber had a good, but not elite season in 2016. But can he take the next step in 2017 and become a dominant running back like Elliott and Hyde before him?

Described as a “bruising” runner reminiscent of Carlos Hyde, Urban Meyer said last season that Weber is “... a thumper and a plus-yardage guy most of the time. Zeke was too, but he doesn't have the top end that Zeke has. We're working on that. And Carlos was a great back. We have been fortunate, and I think Mike falls right in that category.
