As Brown senior running back Nick Hartigan prepares for the Ivy League season opener at Harvard, he has become an amazing candidate -- for both the Walter Payton Award and a Rhodes Scholarship.
When all is said and done in his career, if you multiple Hartigan's rushing yards by his grade-point average, the result might well be the highest number of all-time. (Obviously, this is not a statistic that anyone has -- or will -- ever produce.)
That's because he has a shot at 4,000 career rushing yards and his GPA is just a fraction below a perfect 4.0.
One of his political science professors calls him one of the most impressive people she's ever met, while his football coach Phil Estes said he'd love for his son to be just like Nick.
Jim Donaldson of the Providence Journal featured Hartigan on Friday. Please click here for the full story.
