TCU running back Darius Anderson just smiles when he hears the words “freak athlete.”

“Honestly, it all happened when I got here,” Anderson said. “Just our program – we’ve got a great strength coach.”

Listed at 5-foot-11, 212 pounds, Anderson fits the bill. He bench presses more than double his weight (440 pounds); he squats more than three times it (700 pounds); and he cleans 300 pounds.

Oh, and we haven’t even mentioned his 42-inch vertical or 4.39-second 40-yard dash. Remember, this is the freshman who burst onto the scene in 2016 with a 70-yard touchdown run against Texas.
