Savier Stephens wants his actions to speak before he does.
I requested an interview with the Falcons’ junior tailback for before practice today. Stephens declined, telling sports information officials that he wants to “do something on the field” before he talks to the press.
Stephens had a similar reaction when I tried to interview him after a spring practice. “I haven’t done anything yet,” he explained.
Stephens should get his chance this season. Asher Clark will start at tailback, but Air Force always uses multiple players at that spot. So we should know if the Falcons’ ground game is humming if Stephens is talking by mid-season.
By the way, expecting the new depth chart soon. Will post it when I get my hands on it.
I think it speaks well of both his humility and determination. I was disappointed last year that neither he or Lumpkin made the impact that was expected. I would not be surprised to see Tew as the #2 HB. I would love to see Southworth develop into our own Kyle Eckle or Eric Kettani.
