A former Texas A&M running back, now heading to the NFL, has made waves with a bold critique of the Aggies’ defensive scheme. In a candid post-draft interview, the player expressed frustration over how the team’s defensive struggles impacted his performance and overall experience in College Station.
“I’m glad to be free,” he stated, emphasizing that Texas A&M’s defensive shortcomings often put the offense in difficult situations. According to him, the Aggies’ inability to consistently stop opposing teams led to unnecessary pressure on the offense, forcing them to play from behind in critical games.
The former Aggie, who was a key contributor to the team’s offensive production, suggested that the lack of defensive support limited their potential for success. While he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play at Texas A&M, he didn’t hold back in saying that a stronger defensive unit could have elevated the program’s standing in the SEC.
His comments have sparked mixed reactions among Texas A&M fans and analysts. Some agree with his assessment, citing defensive struggles as a recurring issue for the Aggies, while others believe his remarks could have been more professional, especially as he transitions to the NFL.
Regardless, his time at Texas A&M is now in the past, and as he embarks on his professional career, he will have the chance to prove his worth at the next level—without the concerns that once frustrated him in College Station.
