Toby Gerhart
Minnesota Vikings
Fantasy Outlook 2010
Gerhart obviously will play behind Purple Jesus this year in Minnesota. He should be the No. 2 back now that Chester Taylor is gone to Chicago, so he will get some chances. He hasn’t really shown the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, so that could limit the number of touches he gets. However, coach Brad Childress has said that he will use some packages with both Gerhart and AP28 on the field as split backs or in the Power-I formation which could wreak havoc with some defenses. But as long as Purple Jesus is healthy, it’s hard to forecast fantasy relevance for Gerhart this year.
The Unconventional White Running Back
Throughout the Combine and leading up to the draft, a number of people were saying that Gerhart has the talent to be a first-round running back…if he were black. His numbers consisting of a 4.5 40 and a 38” vertical leap, along with his NCAA leading rushing numbers for mediocre Stanford last year, are incredible. Now, we’re not going to get into any debate about race here, but we are highlighting this to showcase how good Gerhart is. He could possibly end up as being the steal of the draft.
At 6’0” and 231-pounds, many people want to label him as a fullback, but he doesn’t see himself that way. He has said he will battle for a spot as a running back, as he should. He is a bulldozer but can cut on a dime. His size may look like that of a fullback, but watch him in action, and you’ll see that teams can’t stop him even when they know he’s coming.
The Stanford Steamer
These days, most high school valedictorians are sending men to the moon, inventing crazy knuckling soccer balls and telling BP what to do about the oil spill. Then there’s Stanford alum Toby Gerhart, who will spend the next few years of his life backing up one of the greatest running backs in the game today.
Gerhart has the resume and pedigree to complete such a task. In his final year at Stanford in 2009, he led the nation in rushing yards (1,871) and both rushing and total TDs (both 27). He ran for over 100 yards in 11 of his 13 games and dominated defenses that had a week to prepare for the one-dimensional Stanford attack. He also finished second to Mark Ingram in the closest Heisman ballot in history. In a game at USC, in which Gerhart ran 29 times for 178 yards and three touchdowns, unprecedented numbers in recent years for an opposing running back in the Coliseum, Stanford ran the Power-I 15 of its last 18 plays and still USC couldn’t stop him. One of the Trojan linebackers even offered up this gem, “‘If you guys run ‘Power’ one more time I’m walking off the field.” As Gerhart put it, “It was a classic.”
