Great pick up...just need to make sure he holds on to the ball
Looks like he has some good hands, but I was hoping to see him work on those ball tugging bands they use for RB's. 10 fumbles in 2 years is a concern.

Coaching in regards to fumbles is tricky.

Some coaches don't want the player to think about fumbling because of how it can get in their heads.

Other coaches have them carry a ball everywhere, use the bands on the ball and have them run through players lined up on both sides trying to dislodge the ball.

I really think he was just drafted too high. With the particular skillset that he has the expectations of being the 8th pick were never going to be met. That doesn't mean he can't excel at what he specializes at.

Couldn't agree more. I loved him coming out of college but he should have been a late 1st/early 2nd round pick that was plugged into a specialty role. Drafting him top ten put too much pressure on the player and on coaches to feature him.
