Explosive is a word used often to describe some of the top skilled position talent in a recruiting classin any given year. Perhaps it’s a word that is overused a bit but not in this case. The first word that will come out of your mouth when you click play on Cedric Walker’s video is that often used word “explosive”. Put the ball in his hands and watch the yards get gobbled up quick fast and in a hurry. Whether it’s taking a hand off on the zone read play, taking a swing pass out of the backfield, making an interception or returning a kick, Cedric Walker is going to hurt the opposition and do it so fast it will make your head spin. Walker is listed at 4.4 in the 4o yard dash and it’s one of those times you can certainly believe. Walker shows the ability to play as fast or even faster than stopwatch says. His video is one you will enjoy watching and it’s likely to be one that you watch more than once. He is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated backs in the State of Florida for 2011. In 2009 he put up over 1,200 total yards. Here’s to hoping that things do not stay that way.
