Getting the respect of your peers is a fantastic accomplishment. It provides a total feeling of self-worth. 

Receiving immense praise from one of the best running backs to ever play on the collegiate level increases that pride two-fold ... especially if you're a fellow running back. 

Former Georgia star ball-carrier Herschel Walker spoke to TMZ about LSU running back Leonard Fournette. According to Walker, the stud sophomore back "is better than I was. He's like a fullback because he can take punishment and keep going."

Consider the source on this one. Walker holds nearly every rushing record for Georgia, won the 1982 Heisman Trophy and was a consensus All-American on three occasions.
