Pumping Up - Iggles Blitz
Pumphrey was a great college player. His size wasn’t an issue and he piled up the most yards in NCAA history. Pumphrey got to the NFL and things changed. He had Staley pushing him hard, which can be challenging for any RB. Pumphrey also had to adjust to being part of a RB group rather than a workhorse. Oh yeah, there was also the challenge of going against NFL defenders every day. Pumphrey needed to get stronger mentally and emotionally. It sure sounds like going from college star to NFL scrub got his attention.
