Some fun here. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 1,415 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior .. all-purpose yards -- receiving (55 receptions, 453 yards) and kick returner (KEY) 10 returns, 214 yards pic.twitter.com/3Duq1jjy6J
Holy offense Bat Man. I love Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is best Rb in the draft. Watkins and Hill deep. Kelce in the middle. And Edwards-Helaire underneath. Good Luck defenses.
Brett Veach told Andy Reid to watch some Clyde Edwards-Helaire film and told Reid you’ll see Brian Westbrook. Reid watched. Then got back to Veach and said he’s better than Westbrook.

CEH will get Mahomes in 2nd and short with all of his playmakers. That is your money making down right there!
CEH isnt some gadget third down back. He is an every down back that will improve our run game drastically.
I guess it's......let's see what happens......time then. I want a bigger less expensive cat doing the WHAM. [Reply]

Oh come on, Allen wasn't that unique. He wasn't especially big or strong or fast (4.59 40) or have Barry's quicks. He was blessed with high football IQ, great balance, and he had great vision. In short yardage he had great patience coupled with a hair trigger burst into whatever crease he eventually found to convert.
And there have been plenty of guys that were great inside that weren't 230+ lbs.
CEH is unique. That's why the Chiefs drafted him. One of the ways in which he is unique is finding daylight between the tackles inside with otherworldly vision and elusiveness.
Ubeja doesn't watch film or listen when he is constantly proven wrong. It's like arguing with my uncle the Oklahoma chicken farmer about politics. [Reply]

Also, Kareem Hunt is on TV right now showing everyone how CEH could fit into this offense.
Again, if you watch what they did with Kareem Hunt, you can see CEH in this offense. NFL Network right now. [Reply]

Curtis Martin, LaDainlian, Thurman Thomas, Tony Dorsett . . .
All the HOF RB's are unique, that is why so few make it. And all those you mentioned are in the HOF. i don't use HOFers to compare to rookies.

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where have I been proven wrong? How about ya slow down with that until we see what actually happens, ok?
Show me this...CONSTANTLY...proven wrong since no football has been played.
Nobody is unique until they excell vs NFL competition. [Reply]
They passed on a 228 pound workhorse with 4.3 jets because CEH is more versatile, he can do more. Ok, so use that versatility which is why he is there. Any RB can hit between the tackles, so ya gamble using your smallish/most expensive/most valuable RB in that role? Hell no ya don't, not saying he never...wham....am saying that isn't why he's in there.

You can also line him up in the slot, we basically got two starters with one pick... Andy is gonna take his mad scientist game to a whole nother level with this guy [Reply]
