Jackson, MS - As Rakeem Sims ripped through Jackson State's defense during a scrimmage at practice last week, observing players gave their genuine opinions. "I told you he was the best running back," one said. Added another: "You can't tackle him at the legs."
Sims, a 5-foot-11, 225-pound bulldozing running back from Richton, has impressed just about everyone who's seen him barrel over defenders, hurdle would-be tacklers and race past others during the first three weeks of practice.
A 2010 signee who did not qualify academically to play last season but was enrolled in school, Sims is the new face in Jackson State's stable of running backs, the guy who might give the Tigers their first 1,000-yard rusher since 1999.
