He should be the first Michigan Running Back drafted in a decade and the first one drafted in the first two days since Chris Perry in 2004. He's been really impressive this year and looks like an NFL player to me.
Assuming he stays healthy, he'll be our first 1000 yard back since Toussaint. He's basically only played 2 games so far and has 364 yards. It's nice to have a back who can hit a home run and pickup a blitz (he's gotten much better in that regard as Skene noted in the podcast).
I like Evans and hope he gets back soon, but Higdon is just at another level.
