I know we didn’t really see a lot, but what are your thoughts on his first game?

That is my take. He has average to slightly above average NFL RB talent. Maybe some upside but that’s why he was a 7th round pick. He’s a career backup.I expected him to look bigger and more powerful than he did....he looked slow to me....was hoping more barber like
I hyped up Bo Scarbrough, but I as you realized he is limited in the backfield. If he doesn't have a hole and gets pressured to run laterally, he can be limited or stopped.This offseason many fans claimed he was the draft steal of the decade.
I was skeptical based on watching his collwge game footage.
I'm still not ready to proclaim his as great, but he looked good. He is faster and a better pass catcher than expected. Oddly his inside running is what I question. He needs a clean run to/past the OL. I think he will struggle when defenders penetrate into the backfield similar to how McFadden had issues in that area.
His biggest issue is that D.Jackson looked decent also and he is big and fast.
Faster than expected? He was known for his straight line speed in college and ran a 4.52 at almost 230 lbs. You watched his college game footage and didn't notice his speed? Dude hang up the amateur scouting act. It's getting embarrassing.This offseason many fans claimed he was the draft steal of the decade.
