Five-star running back says he’ll instead play linebacker in order to have longer term NFL career

We’ve heard for several years now about the devaluation of the running back at the NFL level. Now that may even be filtering down a few levels to top recruits considering how they want their college careers to play out.

Speaking to the Washington Post this week, Charlotte (NC) Harding running back Quavaris Crouch disclosed that while he’s one of the best at his positions in the country in the class of 2019, he’ll be playing linebacker at the next level because stopping tailbacks pays a lot more than running the ball in the NFL.

“I want to be smart about it,” Crouch told the paper. “My passion is running back. I love to play running back. I love to score touchdowns. Realistically, I feel like linebacker is the best for me.”

Frankly, I'm surprised more players don't do this, i.e. switch positions from RB or QB, wtc. to improve their chances at a longer NFL career.

I like that the bump is as behind the times as the thread it's resurrecting in the "script encounters the Internet" experiment. That's a pretty old commercial.

Before I knew anyone from MIT, that is exactly what I thought of them as well.

Across the board, MIT guys (know no women who went to MIT... and that begs multiple questions), are some of the most intense people I’ve ever met. Study hard, party hard, work hard, party hard. Everything is done to and excess.

MIT women do exist. I'm friends with one (who also has a Yale graduate degree), and she's awesome, although I don't know that she's got the "party hard" part down besides liking good food and beer and occasionally some whiskey. Talking with her can be a bit interesting as her mind never stops and she'll occasionally clearly be off somewhere else. When that happens, I'll actually snap my fingers to get her attention, but I think she appreciates that I don't get bothered by it and just find it amusing.

Glad to see that Ohio State is not playing down to their level competition which they have done periodically over the past. Wish they would save some of their 3 balls for the Syracuse zone.
