Venric Mark- Mark is a 5 foot 8, 175 LB. Junior running back for Northwestern. Last year he ran for 1,366 yards on 226 carries and scored 12 touchdowns. Along with what he did running the football he also caught 20 passes for 104 yards and another touchdown. Venric is a smaller running back that has a lot of quickness and ability to make defenders miss in the open field. With that being said he also has the ability to run North and South and be able to get tough yards. He has similar build and toughness to two NFL running backs. The first running back that I would compare Mark to is Knowshon Moreno, and the other back that I would compare him to is Montee Ball. Both of these two guys are smaller running backs that rely more on quickness in the open field to get yards. However, they both have the ability to get the tough yards when they need them. If there is one weakness to Mark's game, it is being able to catch more passes out of the back field. In order for him to succeed in the NFL he has to be able to show NFL talent evaluators that he is a complete back. I think that he is well on his way to being one of the best running backs in Northwestern history and possibly a chance to be a high draft choice when he comes out.
