Synjyn Days

I see his has good size and ran a 4.6 at his pro. Not bad for 230 pounds
 
He's actually kind of interesting. I'd never looked at him before, but his highlights show good balance for a bigger back. And he's a good fit for a zone blocking scheme, for what that's worth. Plus, he should have short yardage potential.

 
Between the tackles runner with good lean, picks up the dirty yards.
 
The more I research this player, the more I like.. At 6'1" 230lbs he can wear down defenses and he's deceptively fast for a big back. He finally was giving a chance to run the rock consistently at GT toward the end of his senior year and didn't disappoint. Just go watch the highlights against a very good Miss State team.. 171 yards and 3 TD's. I can realistically see him challenging Dunbar or Williams for their roster spot. He would be perfect on short yardage situations and is big enough to excel on special teams, unlike Dunbar or Williams (just saying). He did well in his limited chances in GT zone blocking schemes. I can see him taking advantage of or #1 rated OL which coincidently runs the same scheme. He's big enough to help out blocking in the pass game too. Synjyn is officially this years pet cat. #fingerscrossed
 
After reading a few articles about Synjyn I'm really rooting for him to pan out. It appears that he only got significant carries in the last 6 or 7 games of his senior season. In those games he was very productive.

The article linked above says that he planned on going to dental school regardless of what happened in the draft. I found that impressive.

He has a good size / speed combination and is supposedly a fit for the zone blocking scheme.

How would you pronounce his name? Sin-gin maybe?

I like Days. The times I saw him play he looked better than Laskey.

Defenses know the dive is coming in the GT offense. I can see Days making the roster.
 
Awesome!!!
Enjoyed watching him at GT. Strong runner. I hope he can make the squad.
 
Well, theres your RB, for the "we gotta draft a RB" crowd. I like him too. Hoping he makes the team.
 
The kid seems to have some potential.

Here's an article...

"Days Is an Ideal Scheme Fit For The Zone Blocking Scheme

After playing primarily at quarterback and B-back in the Georgia Tech offense, Days has seen what it takes to succeed in a zone-based scheme. Despite lining up essentially as a fullback in the Yellow Jackets offense, Days was able to read defenses and follow blocks nearly every time he touched the ball.

He has three things that make him look like a great fit as an NFL running back: vision, balance and burst. Vision is how well a back sees the holes open up, balance is how well he can absorb hits and maintain his pad level while he runs and burst is how well he busts through the hole based on his athleticism.

By having all three of these, Days compares very favorably to Alfred Morris from the Washington NFL team. He's going to be extremely productive if he winds up in the same kind of zone scheme that favors his one-cut-and-go style and minimizes him as a receiver and blocker."
