Maine’s versatile back-turned-receiver who brought pop as a runner and a pass-catcher
In the 2011 season, Derek Session was a do-everything weapon for Maine, finishing with 38 receptions for 398 yards and 2 receiving touchdowns while also giving the Black Bears a physical, 6-foot-1, 225-pound frame that translated well to running back and slot usage. He had earlier shown real rushing punch, including 74 carries for 328 yards and 5 touchdowns in the 2008 season, and his versatility plus plus-size made him a matchup problem rather than a one-position player. If your team wants a tough, flexible, “line him up anywhere” back, he’s exactly the kind of chess piece coaches love.
