Few players on the Texas Longhorns last season were as divisive as running back Chris Warren III, the 6’2, 250-pound physical specimen who flashed at times during his first two seasons, but struggled as a junior.
Some fans saw a player with a unique combination of size and physicality and believed that the offensive coaching staff misused a player with the talent to become the feature running back the team needed after D’Onta Foreman departed early for the NFL.
The coaches saw a running back who struggled to create extra yardage behind a struggling offensive line and eventually moved him to H-back due to a lack of available bodies at the position.
