That's why little scatbacks like Welker, Taurean Henderson, and Eric Stephens were perfect in the Air Raid. 
 

Yeah, the running back culture as well as that of OL changed as much as anything else in the transition from Spike to Leach. 

Who was that back from Midland who was a stud?  Real high character guy.  Think injuries derailed his NFL career.  But he was/is a really good human.

Yeah, if you ever tried to blitz a Leach team, they would screen you to death with their short, quick guys or flip it to a running back.  Way to beat them was to rush 4 and knock the shit out of their receivers every time they caught a ball.  Greg Robinson was our best DC against Leach.

Baron Batch. I don't think he was quite NFL caliber ultimately but he is a good dude.

Also Welker wasn't a back idk what slorch meant by that.

Welker often functioned as a back in his role, even if it was 'wing-backy.'It's not like he lined up in the slot every play, certainly not while at Tech.

I got to work out with him at one of the Leach Fantasy Camps.  He is genuinely one of the nicest people you will ever meet.  And very, very, very fast.

I remember watching this on TV as a kid when it happened. Interesting playcall. “Just chuck a 40 yard rainbow bomb towards the DB punt returner. They’ll never see it coming”.
