He may not be Gio, but I think he can be a great change-of-pace back and a hell of a safety valve for Burrow to dump the ball off to!

I think this could be another steal by our coaching staff and give us another dimension because I think he's a better ball carrier than Gio and not too bad in the receiving department!





I'm LOVING this team's potential!

It is funny.  I heard one of his coaches say his best trait was blitz pickup.  It is like a smaller, faster version of Gio....and in the 6th round.  

The smaller part is, of course, an issue if he can't stay healthy, but I like his story about how he stood there and faced the music and didn't transfer out of Michigan.  

At 4:10, he takes a little checkdown for a nice gain.  That first step is SO QUICK.  That is what has been missing with Gio.  It seems as though Taylor had been wanting this kind of player to complement the bigger backs of Mixon and Perine.  Hope he makes the most of his opportunity.
