Chris Polk Grinds and Gabs His Way Into Our Hearts
We need to appreciate Chris Polk more. I mean why the hell not, right? Dude deserves as much love as he can get these days.
Let’s review.
Before the start of the season we had no idea what to expect from Polk. The redshirt freshman was injured early in 2008 and never got a chance to show us the player he was. All we knew about the blue-chip recruit was that he decommitted from USC to run the ball on Montlake. Like decommitting from the Playboy mansion, or something.
Polk’s injury, along with a relative lack of production in his only full game against Oregon last season left for a huge question mark entering 2009.
Now five weeks into the season, all our questions about the Redlands, Calif. native have been answered.
The man is a beast. A holy terror. A juggernaut wrapped up in a 19-year-old’s body. When it comes to running backs, Chris Polk is a manchild that is, quite simply, worth the price of admission.
