Aaron Wimberly
Wins in space out of the backfield. On tape: 110 rushing yards and 5 receiving yards against Texas, Week 8, 2014.
Play style
Deployed as a receiver as much as a runner. Value is in space, not between the tackles.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 17.8% of his season rushing yards came on his 5 best carries — remarkably even — and he's stuffed on 20.4% of his carries. 8 carries for 11 yds vs Baylor; 14 for 110 vs Texas.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
