TAMPA — At 5 feet 9, 185 pounds, Shaun Wilson has never been short on talent.
Although the undrafted rookie running back never rushed for 1,000 yards in a season at Duke, small backs have made big gains in the NFL before.
"He's small in height, but he's got really good quickness,'' said Bucs coach Dirk Koetter. "Really good vision. He can burst and he's smart. There's been plenty of short in stature running backs have success in the NFL. I think he's somewhere between 185 and 190 weight wise. He's got some leverage when he tries to run with power and he can make guys miss.
