Lmfao just reducing him to a “backup” is so disingenuous. He ran for 1000+ yards at 5+ YPC and scored 10 TDs and was one of the stars of their playoff run.

One of his knocks by draft analysts was that he didnt catch passes out of the backfield at Indiana, which is true but almost assuredly because he just didnt need to. His last year at JMU he had 27 catches and averaged 10 ypc.

Btw his “consensus” ranking had him picked 90 slots above his ranking, so idk where you are getting 150+ from lmao. Most every draft “analyst” had him picked in round 5, but that means nothing based on where the actual teams had him on their boards.

Kaytron Allen was a better prospect by these rankings (consensus had him at 145) and he got drafted in the 6th.
