Imagine if Lincoln Riley had been the offensive coordinator during fullback Aaron Ripkowski’s career at Oklahoma. One can’t help but picture the former walk-on, who has grown into an unlikely but effective NFL multiple threat, being deployed out of the backfield possibly like a Dimitri Flowers Light (Though, I’m not sure a 6’1”, 246-pound, freight train could ever be called “light”, but you know what I mean). This is all assuming Rip’s not just a late bloomer who has found a niche with the storied Packers after being the only option left mid-season to hand the ball off to in Mike McCarthy’s anemic backfield.
