Side note regarding the 'big play searchers' - I think CEH may need to overcome that a little bit. He didn't try to use speed to hunt edges but there were times he'd try to use his feet a bit and dance behind the line instead of take 3-4 yards that were readily available.
Seems a smart kid and in time he'll learn when there's more yardage there and when there just isn't. But early on I think we'll see some frustrating runs where he's just a little slow to give up on a play and try to salvage it. He'll make some 3 yard runs into 8 yard runs in the process, but he'll turn some 3 yard runs into -1 as well.
But I think he'll be an awfully good player. Someone asked, maybe in this thread, how a RB can make you more capable of dealing with a cover 3 and if you want the answer to that, watch the Rams game again. As you watch that game more and more you see just how hard the Rams were working to try to close up the middle and they just couldn't. Andy knew just how to use the threat of Hunt out of the backfield to create space underneath for Kelce and Watkins. And then as they would sell out to address that, he'd dial up something to attack the deep seam or corner.
He's gonna be an issue on his own but his impact on the offense overall will be a real bitch to handle.
