we would be saying this guy is one of the greatest RB's of all time if it wasn't for the fact that he's 5'7 177 pounds. he's up to 190 now
the knock on him is that he's too small, and he couldn't be an every down back. but thats exactly what he was in college and had no problems doing it. he was also small in college, and he lit everyone up
even the mighty ohio state, heres proof. he had 289 total yards in that game
BTW he just ran a 4.38 at his pro day
from footballs future
Garrett Wolfe RB 5'7 177 Northern Illinois
By: Robert Davis
After redshirting as a freshman, and sitting out the following year for academic issues, Garrett Wolfe took over for the departed Michael Turner and made Husky fans forget all about Turner. In his first season on the field in 2004, Wolfe ran for 1,656 yards and 18 touchdowns, along with 10 catches for 117 yards and three touchdowns through the air. In just nine games in 2005, Wolfe ran for 1,580 yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground, and added 20 receptions and 222 yards and a touchdown out of the backfield. Wolfe closed out his career by leading the nation in rushing with 1,928 yards and 18 touchdowns, while adding 249 yards and a touchdown on 28 catches.
Garrett Wolfe is a very versatile running back. He has fantastic quickness and agility, and the speed to break off long runs with ease. He wastes no steps when he sees a hole, and immediately jumps right through it and takes off. He’s not afraid to run between the tackles and always finishes his runs. Wolfe can also be a threat out of the backfield. With his speed and big play ability, he could be a factor on special teams as well.
The obvious knock on Wolfe’s game is his size. He is extremely small, and it will keep him from being an every down back in the NFL. His body will not hold up with the amount of carries a feature back needs, and he does not pack enough punch because of his small frame.
If it weren’t for size, Wolfe would be one of the elite backs in the draft. His size is a major drawback, and it hurts his potential and draft stock. He could be a great change of pace back and return man in the NFL though.

to me this guy is absolutely worth taking a gamble in the mid round with one of the extra picks tt picks up. he could be a great part of a two headed approach
and as for the thought he's too small. the greatest RB i've ever seen in my life was 5'8 200. and he had a pretty nice career in the pros and would have owned all the records if he hadn't called it quits way too early
