Tennessee running back Dylan Sampson has unquestionably made the most of his opportunity this season as the lead ball carrier for Josh Heupel’s offense. And he had big shoes to fill after the departure of the electric Jaylen Wright to the NFL Draft.

How well has he filled those shoes? He’s busted through them at the seams.

Sampson has been dynamic with the ball in his hands, showing great vision, quickness, and power. Pretty much the holy trinity of the position. Through six games, he leads the SEC in rushing attempts (118), rushing yards (699), and rushing touchdowns (15).
