What’s it going to take for Artis-Payne to start getting some recognition?
“I don't get to listen to all the talk shows and all that, but he's just a workhorse guy,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. “He's one of the top running backs in our league, and I think he's proved that time and time again. He's tough. He's very reliable. He's a very good pass protector. He's unselfish. He just does his job.”
Artis-Payne has already rushed for over 100 yards in seven of Auburn’s nine games this season, and he’s getting better every time out. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound back has rushed for 526 yards in his last three games, averaging 6.4 yards per carry. He’s taken over the Tigers’ backfield, similar to how Tre Mason did a year ago.
“He’s running hard, determined,” offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee said. “I think he’s a very motivated individual. He’s making the most of his opportunity, and he’s been a big part of the reason we’ve been be able to be successful lately
But the thing about Artis-Payne is that he’s not a “me” guy. He works hard every day at practice; he spends tireless hours in the film room every week; and he'll be the first one to give credit to the offensive line for his own success. He doesn’t care about recognition. He cares about winning.
That’s why after Saturday’s loss to Texas A&M, he didn’t want to talk about his performance or the fact that he was the first SEC back to go over 1,000 yards. He made it clear that none of that was relevant because his team lost the game
