Some are critical of Coffee’s upright rushing style, but not me. I may be a fast runner, but I look downright goofy when I go into sprint mode. So let’s not judge a rusher by the way he looks.

Coffee rushed for over 1,000 yards in the tough SEC, putting in one of his best games against National Champion Florida. If Tim Tebow played defense, Coffee would have obviously gained negative yards. But he doesn’t. So there.

Watching Coffee, it appears that he hits the hole running hard and can gain separation at the second level. I like him as a mid-round selection who could make an impact in the NFL.
