Houston’s lightning-bolt back turned watch-list weapon
In the 2007 season, Anthony Alridge was a do-it-all Houston runner who rushed for 1,597 yards and 14 touchdowns on 259 carries, while also adding 274 receiving yards and five receiving scores. He brings real juice: quick acceleration, big-play burst, and versatility as a runner, receiver, and return threat, with enough explosiveness to make defenses miss in space. The knock is durability and size, but the payoff is a fearless, high-impact playmaker who can tilt a game fast. If you want a back who can create chunk plays and stress defenses horizontally, he’s your guy.
