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.

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.

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.

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.
