I don't think any NFL evaluator is going to care about Gerhart's color. They will care about his lack of ability to turn the corner at the collegiate level.

Can Brandon Jacobs turn the corner, Michael Turner, Marion Barber, Jamal Lewis, Jonathon Stewart, Chris 'Beanie' Wells? No, they can't.

There are plenty of 'between the tackles' runners in the NFL. There always have been and there always will be. Why should Gerhart be moved to fullback without being given the chance to be a productive NFL running back?

Your saying he must 'turn the corner' is just double speak for your desire to deny him his deserved opportunity to earn a living carrying a football in the NFL. You searched for the weakest part of his game and are trying to discredit him with it. Only you can answer why you would do that.

Earl Campbell didn't 'turn the corner' either.
