2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford

He is a first round talent that will be drafted in the late 2nd round because people continue to underestimate him. He is a fantastic power back with solid breakaway speed. Sure he is no Chris Johnson, but he will still fill a need looking for a good power back for a platoon system. He wont beat you on the corner but if you need three or four yards in a critical situation Gerhart will get the job done period.

The so-called experts from the PAC-10 picked him 5th or 6th best back in his own conference for preseason. What did he do? Found himself in NYC as runner-up in the Heisman. So, it really doesn't matter where he goes in the draft. Mark my words, if he stays healthy and a team gives him a chance to run........you may wind up reading about him again getting an award. His will & determination is what separates him from others. I suspect he will demonstrate that in the NFL as well. If he stays healthy, he will become a premier back in the NFL very quickly. He is that GOOD!

TEAMS WILL PASS AND I THINK THEY'LL PAY FOR IT
A HEAVYWEIGHT RUNNER WITH HEART
COULD BE A SOLID PLAYER IF PLATOONED WITH A SPEEDBACK
WILL WEAR DOWN AFTER A FEW YEARS FROM TOO MUCH PUNISHMENT
I'D TAKE HIM ON MY TEAM ANYDAY
AND WHO WAS THE LAST WHITE RB 0R CB ANYWAY(BRIAN LEONARD/JASON SEAHORN)

Might go later unfortunately. RBs are a dime a dozen and teams have 2 now a days. Few teams in need. Chris371 shouldnt play the race card, its all about times and style (upright) NOT color. I love this guy, as a Skins fan I see Riggins all over again. GMs will worry about fumbling problems when fighting 4 xtra yards. Can get away w/ that at college level but NOT pros. I hope he falls to top of second so my SKINS can grab him and give him #44 (aint happening).

I don't know if Gerhart is a 1st round pick, but I think Chris 371 makes a legitamate point. White RBs always are looked at as inferior. This is rediculous. This goes all the way back to High School. College recruiters frequently either do not want to look at white kids as RBs or CBs or they want to change their positions. Some how White kids who run 4.5 and dominate are considered not fast enough or not explosive. While at the same time a Black kid who runs 4.6 or 4.7 is considered legit, This points out blatent racial biases against white football players in certain positions. It's about time that this issue is looked at. This would not be tolerated if it were the other way around.

Why is this years Doak Walker award winner considered as anything other than a RB? Thats like turning the Belitnikoff award winner into a kicker, it makes no sense.
I know its hard for some people to accept a white guy as a legit RB, but get over it. Toby is a RB and thats it.

He will go in the 2nd and he is a #1 back. This is a punishing load of a back and is deceptive until people try to tackle him. Who ever gets this kid is going to be very happy with him. He pancaked the USC backfield.
