2172016, Damn shame for Ray Graham to have to go that way

Dude was a top round RB quality prospect and his 4 years just were unlucky

Freshman year he comes in ready to split time with fellow freshman Dion Lewis. Graham was viewed as better but Lewis just had a monster first few games and then took the role as his without Graham really having a shot at it.

Sophomore year Lewis struggled and Graham took over as the premier back but they still split time because of Lewis' freshman year.

Junior Year h5e leads the nation in YPG and is being talked about as leaving early and going first round and he blows out his knee and is done for the season. He still finished 2nd in the league in rushing despite missing the last few games.

Senior Year: 5 star prospect Rushell Shell shows up and the 2 split carries for most of the year due to Graham not being 100% with less tha a year to recover and Shell being a good freshman.

I hope he can get healthy and make something of himself on the Texans, but injuries and being on a strong depth chart really cost him. He still wound up 2nd all time rushing yards at Pitt despite all the time not as the main back. Of course he is still only half of Dorsett at #1 who nobody will catch ever at Pitt.
