I was on the CEH train from the moment i started paying attention to the draft (which was admittedly late).
I thought he had better elite traits than any RB in the draft. You could watch his highlights (yes, highlights, you don't need All-22 to see certain traits) and easily see the natural talent.
His quickness was unmatched. He had a brutal spin move and jump cut. His ability to start and stop was unmatched by any RB i saw, he constantly turned 4 yards into 7 yards, played with good power for his size, his hands were natural and effortless.
Watching CEH run was like watching Mahomes throw...it all came so natural and easy.
He was the best RB imo and the best schematic fit. It was kind of a no-brainer. There was no internal debate here for me. [Reply]

Andy likes to spread the defense and run right up the middle in goal line situations, too. That's not a big back's job, that's a slippery back's job. Think about the difference between Christian Okoye and Marcus Allen.
Sure, CEH can run outside, he's fast. But he has elite vision and between the tackles, he was the most efficient RB in college football. Andy wants that. [Reply]
