Hood talks Pitt RB Conner's running style, journey

Posted Sep 24, 2016
It's not often UNC's Elijah Hood calls another running back big, but that was the case when Hood was asked about Pittsburgh running back James Conner at practice Wednesday. "He’s huge," Hood said. "Normally guys that big don’t move that fast. I feel like I’m kind of big, but he is really big and he gets moving." (Carolina Blue)
