Is anyone else like super bothered by the way he runs? I mean his stride. It looks like he's just willing his legs to run faster than they can. Dude is fast, no doubt, but I wonder if maybe a running coach could help help out or something. [Reply]

Now, will that translate to the NFL? Who knows. You can only play the guys in front of you. But at 215 lbs. with 4.37 speed?
Remember that Veach said there would be starting RB's in the 7th round. I don't think he takes one if he sees Knile Davis.
Just saying.
He made some great moves against the defenses of Ohio State and Michigan. I do not get the Kniles Davis comparison at all.
Just watching the various highlights, I wonder how he was nearly Mr. Irrelevant.
I bet quite a few teams had his number ready to dial in order to offer an UDFA contract.

Because yeah, I wanted nothing but speed from any RB we added in this draft. We needed it so badly. And if we insist on running inside zone, this guy CAN do some damage. Especially if teams went to stay in 2-high looks.
I agree. I wanted to pick up SOMEONE with speed. I was thinking an undersized jittery guy but this is reasonable. I’d like better vision and pass catching skills but that dude isn’t in the 7th. [Reply]
