The fact that he was a late-round pick has some folks thinking he's likely an over-rated RB. At 234 lbs. and tough as nails, he's likely to surprise some unsuspecting opposition. I'm looking forward to seeing how he fares in TC and the preseason games, assuming he'll see action. I'm really trying to curb my excitement at this point in time. TC might afford some meaningful clues as to his future exploits.
If this RB tips the scales at 234 lbs., picturing him to fit the category of "light in the britches" is likely destined to bring total disbelief. There will be some opposing linebackers likely to fear him.
Agreed
Agreed. The narrative I been seeing on many platforms is he doesn't have the juice to make house calls. It's patently false. Same was said about Emmitt. Completely different backs, but you get the idea. He reminds me alot of a guy named George Rogers. The South Carolina RB way back in the early 1980s. He was a big RB with deceptive long speed. Was never going to be quick footed in the hole or make dbs miss, but could make linebackers miss.
Exactly. He's a system RB that is expert at using his blockers in front of him to his advantage. He's very smart, patient runner. High FB IQ. He's not a one trick pony. I think he can help us close out games and be our goal line guy. Then from time to time he can pop a run for 20 plus.
