He is no doubt a very talented young man, but I'm always cautious of basing anyone's ability on "highlight" videos. I could put together a highlight reel on Harrison Beck's NU career that could make him look like an All-American...
But, without a doubt, congratulations to Heard on making the grade and getting to campus. So many of these young men who don't make grades end up in JuCo, and are never heard from, again.
Your right about highlight films, but his aren't showing alot of "80 yard TD runs" but alot of 7-10 yard runs, a few broken tackles, some bouncing from inside to outside, some tackles after his WR caught the ball, etc.....a very realistic tape, IMO, considering some highlight tapes show nothing but TD runs all the time.
