I spent about an hour watching him before i went to bed last night.
It's just so hard to project RB's in the NFL. He's fast, he's not Jamaal Charles fast that's for sure. I understand he ran 4.37 at the combine, not the proday. Which is impressive. But he looks more like a 4.4 guy to me, not that that isn't fast enough.
He seems to gobble up yards quickly the way Charles would though. He got what was there in college, didnt really leave a whole lot of meat on the bone. As muscular as he may be, he's not a pile mover the way Kareem Hunt was, but at least he falls forward.
Shrug.
Who knows.
He has the ability to take advantage of what's there. He has the speed to make big plays happen in space. He's not the strongest dude between the tackles.
But we see similar players every year that don't amount to shit. You just never know. Sometimes these guys get into the league with Pro coaching and pro schemes and flourish.
If the Chiefs believe his talent is transferring on the field than i'll go ahead and believe it too until my eyes tell me otherwise.
