The way he runs, he is a beast. Do you guys expect to see him on the field considerably this coming year?

Get ready for all the "Fill in the blank is going to take all of his PT next year" comments. I love the way Fowler plays and have said all along that IMO he is a prototype Pro RB. Even if he does not get a huge amount of carries next year I expect to see him on the field a lot at HB and FB. He's got great vision, natural running instincts and speed for a 245 lb guy.

I really think that he was headed for a big year until he got hurt so I am expecting big things out of him in 2013

I like the way he runs, reminds me of Jerome Bettis. Fowler is a load to bring down. With him in there with Yeldon, it could be fun to watch, Fowler can lay someone out!! With or without the ball. We have a lot of options at RB, no one like Fowler though, just a Bull Dozer!! With speed

I think he will be key to our running game while our O line gels together. With the ball or lead blocking.

If healthy he should be the second best Rb on the team next year (unless a freshman explodes like TJ did last year). I also think he plays RB in the league not FB. Tremendous feet for a guy that size and great hands too.

Fowler reminds me a lot of Lendale White. Same size guys with good speed. If Bama didn't have RBs that were are already 220lbs themselves and had only scat type backs like Reggie Bush, Fowler could easily pile up the rushing TDs the why White did at USC
