Something to this Kid (Hunter Luepke)

[CalPolyTechnique]

There’s something to this kid. Shades of Kyle Juszczyk. Hopefully, McCarthy figures him out.

Vaughn/Luepke=Dunn/Alstott? Kidding....kinda

No matter the circumstance, I'm giving this kid the ball over Zeke.

He has some juice!

 

[Kolemmitt]

Luepke is a good Zeke replacement - not 2016 Zeke, but 2022 Zeke - short yardage, pass blocking, receiving out of the backfield, etc.
He is also a much cheaper version of Zeke that will also play special teams.

Pump the brakes. He's still rehabbing a shoulder he injured in November. That's per his own lips, told in a Fargo local TV interview just before the draft.

Better bet is that he's an IR candidate until further notice. Shoulder injuries for guys who like to collide as a matter of routine are naturally problematic.

Would like to see the source for the $200K report.

Also might explain why they didn't bother drafting one until 6th round. Let's be honest, after Robinson and Gibbs went off the board, they could have positioned themselves to draft any RBs left but they didn't. Knowing they had this kid in their pocket may very well be the reason why.

Wow…..i like the kid.

davis and dowdle are scrubs. If we can’t replace them it’s a problem.

This kid blows away current zeke.

Tatanka!

Mighty Mouse and Tatanka!

Some of the receptions he’s making are pretty ridiculous for a fullback.

 

[TheMightyVanHalen]

Had some pretty damn good catches. But he's going against scrubs. Like how Wilt Chamberlain was back in his time going up against mostly 6'8" unathletic centers who look like me. People saying he's better than Zeke are being silly. For the price he is a better option but he's not better, IMO.

 

[RandyOh]

He is going to be our big UDFA find for this year. He will make the team and be apart of the RB rotation. Huge get.

 

[XXLMike]

Could this kid a TE / HBack

 

[beware_d-ware]

McCarthy used fullbacks a bunch in GB. I can absolutely see Luepke sticking.

I hadn't seen pass blocking, but if so, he's a good fit.

LOL not just tap the brakes but considering that competition....South Dakota, Drake, NC A&T , S. Dakota St, Youngstown St......c'mon now, he might become a good player but those who are questioning Deuce should look at who HE competed against. Big 12 and SEC among them. Can't have it both ways.

Ronald Jones too

he is like a swiss army knife perhaps,,,,,jack of all trades, tough match up in some cases.....perhaps an H-back type. not sure about his blocking ability.

I like what I see but the step up in competition is what gives me pause.

The guy is 235lbs and ran a 4.56 though. Great hands and agile. A lot to like from this guy...
