Brian Herrien, a fan favorite in Athens during his career at Georgia, underwent measurements on Tuesday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
Douglasville native Herrien, who was able to put together a productive career as a backup in Athens, is viewed as a guy who will likely go undrafted or be taken in one of the later rounds.
But one thing that’s for sure is that whoever does get Herrien will be getting one of the hardest working players in the entire draft class.
Herrien’s measurements are as follows:
Height: 5-11 and 1/8 inches
Weight: 209 lbs
Hand: 9″
Arm: 29 and 3/4 inches
Wingspan: 73 and 3/4 inches
NFL.com’s overview of Herrien is as follows:
Hard-charging, backup-caliber running back with adequate size and plenty of toughness but missing feel and finesse. Herrien is loose-limbed and has some elusiveness, but the tape is littered with runs where he tastes squared, punishing contact. With that said, he has one fumble over 296 attempts and through all the contact, he rarely seems deterred from squeezing out additional yardage by any means necessary. His lack of decisiveness is apparent when watching him follow teammate D’Andre Swift, but success in short-yardage carries and kick-return experience might help his cause.
