This could be a younger player or someone who already has varsity
experience and is ready to step up in a big way. Who deserves to be
mentioned here?

exactly. He already BROKE OUT in the games in which RD was down.Originally posted by tm3308:
Considering he only ran for 536 yards last year and got just 64 carries, I don't think he qualifies as having broken out yet. He's never been the primary back (well, excluding the couple games Dixon missed due to injury last year), and he's going to see a big increase in carries this year. Depending on how heavily Regina wants to lean run/pass this year, Brinkman is going to put up huge numbers.
He ran for 128 yards and 3 touchdowns in those two games, and had only three games where he ran for more than 45 yards. We've only seen the tip of the iceberg with him at tailback.Originally posted by BlameIt:
