I know it's way too early to tell, but I just checked his stats from last season and he had 293 rush attempts (averaged 20 carries per game for 5.3 yards per rush), which really surprised me.

I initially thought he'd get maybe 4 to 6 carries a game, if that, and be more of a gadget player. But it seems like he can carry a much larger load if needed.

Pollard shouldn't get more than 20 carries a game imo. There's probably 12-20 more that will be needed if this offense does become a "run first" identity.

What's your expectation for Deuce Vaughn?

I don’t think he will play much early but when he proves himself as the 3rd down running back, he will get 3-5 runs a game and about 3 passes.

0. He will not make the team. It was a token wasted pick. The kid is 5’5. Imagine him running into jalen carter. He will get smashed like a grape

Hard to be the 3rd down back when you're a complete liability in pass protection.
I here you but I could see Schoonmaker as the designated pass protector on third down and we all know Zeke is coming back.

Can't teach height and he doesn't have elite speed...at 4.56 he tied for 10th fastest in rbs from the combine. He's got great vision and can be very slippery but he's outside of the expected basic measurements.

I think he makes the practice squad to start the year and might get a call up at some point if injuries pop up

10-12 is what I expect. He was not drafted to carry the load for Pollard. He can catch passes too. They can move him all over. Turpin can still return punts.

He was sick at the Combine it has been stated numerous times.
