Najee Harris versus Travis Etienne

[Kebo]

Va Tech? Really haven’t caught up on him yet

 

[Danny]

Don't like Herbert?

did you mean hubbard?

 

[Kebo]

I don’t care much for Hubbard. I just watched some film on Herbert. He is alright, kind of similar to Ahmed.

James Cook is an underrated kid that displays some Kamara type skillset. Dalvin's younger brother is a stone cold sleeper that will blow up in the right offense at the next level.

What school?

 

[The Bopkin]

Different note but -- Michael Carter sure looks like a mini Ricky Williams to me!

​

He looked good against Miami U...but I think he's a lot smaller. I think he's under 210. If that matters to you.

Where is Herbert from? Do you mean Hubbard?

 

[The Bopkin]

I’d prefer Collins to any RB in this class. 3-4 defense requires big athletic LBs, not very many this year.

I have watched 2 Tulsa games- which I know is a small sample size- but Collins did nothing in either game. I don't understand the love for him- as I said, based SOLELY on those two unremarkable games.
Maybe I will have to search the dreaded youtube highlight clips of him.
What do you like about him?

Looks pretty good to me. Contract balance, vision, and speed all look good enough.

I'm still catching up on the backs, too. Herbert has similar juice to Ahmed, but he's thicker and breaks tackles better. Some upside there imo.

He has great size and movement. He can rush the passer and drop into coverage. He is the type that fits in a 3-4 defense. I like him as an OLB in our system. I don’t think he makes it inside. I see him as a Kyle Van Noy type player.

Jeremiah on Harris:

Biggest takeaway: I loved watching Harris on tape. His game is so smooth and effortless. He has a natural running style and his feel/instincts make up for his lack of elite speed. He isn't going to be a home-run hitter at the next level, but he's going to pile up a bunch of doubles. What does that mean? Well, it means he's going to routinely turn 2- and 3-yard runs into 12- and 15-yard runs. He is going to excel in short yardage and he'll be an asset out of the backfield on third down.

He reminds me of: I wrote down Matt Forte at the top of my notes about 10 plays into my study of the LSU game. The two players share the same build and smooth/easy running style. Forte had a little more juice, but they are both physical, instinctive runners with added value in the passing game. Another name that popped into my mind was Eddie George. However, George was bigger and more violent as a runner. It will be interesting to see how the league values Harris in the draft. My advice: Ignore the 40-yard-dash time. He's going to be an excellent pro.

He doesn’t remind me of forte or Eddie George, weird..
