My bet is split carry back. Ware is a pretty good blocker too, not sure how Kareem will do but he has the build for it

That's extremely impressive that Hunt had the highest overall rating of any RB in the 2016 draft.

This was the best RB class in a very long time.

I'm excited to see what this kid can do.

Spencer Ware: 4.62..

Tons of good RBs have run 4.6s...Including LeVeon Bell.

Half of the top 10 rushers from last year had similar speed as hunt.

The fact that the kid hasn't learned to fumble alone makes him awesome!

Rewatching the film on him, it's obvious Hunt is not the fastest guy on the field, but what really stands out is the number of times it takes multiple defenders to bring him down. He is gang tackled a lot- and when he wasn't, busted loose for extra yards.

When he is getting hit by so many guys on most plays and still did not fumble- that is impressive.

High praise indeed.

"I talked to my coaches at Toledo and [told them], 'I feel like I need to get more involved in the receiving game, and I feel like I can get open to make people miss in space,'" Hunt said. "I like [getting] the ball in [the open field]. I'm seeing running backs catching the ball a lot out of the backfield. I was like, 'Why can’t we get some of that stuff at Toledo?' Our coach did a great job of installing more things out of the backfield for the running backs, and it helped me out a lot."

Gotta appreciate the kid's eagerness to get better by working with his coaches.

The kid will compare favorably to Curtis Martin

His running style is the definition of 'bellcow'... Reid seems to be going away from the Charles/Westbrook model

Between Hunt and Ware we're definitely moving to more of a power run game

Mahomes will now be the homerun hitter, our backs just need to get us first downs and the occasional 10-30 yard chunks

Interesting perspective here. Rely on the arm and draft some bruisers to punch it in on the goal line. I like it.
