Pollard is not a gimmick player.

His size makes him very versatile in ways that gimmick players are not.

Last year they tried to piece together something beyond the basic plays by attempting to use the best features of the following players while trying to hide their limitations.

Austin: Speed for gadget plays but too small to block on 3rd downs.

Noah Brown: Great blocking WR but questions as a receiver.

Deonte Thompson: Deep threat. Big enough to play outside.

Beasley: Great in his niche area but limited versatility due to size.

Rod Smith: Backup RB that could block if needed.

Pollard can:
Run the Austin gadget plays with elite speed.

Do some of the Noah Brown move blocking against Nickel defenses (Using a 2nd TE instead of Brown caused defenses to play base).

Line up as a deep threat at outside WR where they tried to use Thompson.

Take a few of the snaps Beasley played as the slot WR but Pollard adds elite speed, size to move outside or into the backfield and blocking ability.

Replace Rod Smith as the backup RB but adds elite speed to be used in multiple ways from that position.

In college Pollard was on the field with another RB more often than not (His teammate RB Darrell Henderson was drafted early 3rd).

Pollard ran a 4.52. I don't know where you're getting elite speed from.

He's also nothing close to a deep threat.

He's a Rod replacement, who will pick up some Beasley slack, that's it.

Don't be daft.

He ran a 4.38 forty at his Pro Day. He had food poisoning at the combine.
