No great speed or elusiveness. "Thunder" doesn't help if he's just a straight line runner. Kaleb Johnson worries me.
I don't want complementary backs as much as I want a higher end talent than what they have now.
Well, Ben is likely going to want complimentary backs cause it’s better for many reasons. The biggest reason is there’s less eggs in one basket. I can’t imagine this offense wouldn’t be complimentary unless they hit a homerun on a pick or use a top 15 pick on a guy.
Speed is something we should take with a grain of salt too. Kaleb was one of the most productive RBs in college. Plenty guys run slow and are successful. Off the top of my head, I think a couple were top 10 in rushing yards last year… Jacobs and Kyren. I think both were over 4.6 I think. I think Bucky was in the 4.5s too.
I don’t need my big guys to be overly shifty. It doesn’t really cater to their strength. The nice thing with Kaleb is his vision and decisiveness. He feels like a guy you rely on to get the yards and not get cute. He’d be a better Monty (who was slower).
