Advanced placement begins in the nursery, say some perhaps overly worried child development experts: by the time a kid is ready for school, he has already reached more than half his general "achievement level" for life.

...Auburn, 6 ft. 2 in., 221 Ibs. The consensus: "The best running back in college ball."
