Good pass protector, very good short yardage back and secures the ball very well. Good receiver out of backfield and plays very hard on special teams.

No he may not be a featured back in the NFL, but a back that does all the things listed can play in the league.

Pedigree helps, will get him a free agent spot somewhere at least.

All that matters is he does well at the combine and potentially finds a way to find a spot. He can work himself into a rotation after an injury

looked like he was shot out of a canon on that one run.
So much quicker this year!

He worked his way into games with grit. A sledgehammer like his dad.

My takeaway too. There was one run he had, I thought it was Morrow at first. Then saw 22 instead of 23. His increase in speed and burst this year is remarkable

S&C coach is relevant. EJ is light years better.

Real team guy too. He was out celebrating on one of Owen's TDs

He may be able to stick on a practice squad for a couple of years b/c of his dad, but JC this is the maroonest of maroon glasses take. The guy will be 24 by training camp, will run a 4.7 and is the FOURTH (presently 3.5) string running back on his college team.

I LOVE the role Elko, EJ, and Co. have constructed for EJ, but a pro back? Guys ...

Lol. Not getting drafted. Chance of making a roster though.

STFU, troll. You said this was a 7-5 team, so mayne you should leave football discussions alone for awhile.

That is indeed what I predicted at the beginning of the year, and was wrong. Y'all some snowflakey MFers. A critique ain't kicking your dog, or so I woulda thought.

He will get a camp invite due to who his dad is, but he isn't draftable. There is over 100 RBs that come out every year and around 30 get drafted. Unless you start and get bulk of the team carries (Moss when healthy) you just don't have much of a shot unless you bring an elite trait to the table (Speed, catching ability).

Next to QB, I think RB is the second hardest spot to get drafted imo. Teams don't like using picks on backs, because of durability concerns... Many years, teams will draft zero backs... So probably at best 20-25 RB draft slots You better be a feature back and/or on a team with two absolute studs, to get drafted.
