The only top-10 rusher last year who played more than 3 years in college was the 9th rusher Aaron Jones who only played 2 games in his 3rd year in college in Conference USA so he went back for a 4th.
Wear and tear might be the only negative I have on Tahj Brooks to your point. Still think he is an instant upgrade in the room as he has good
vision, is built like a bowling ball and has good burst. Might be our best runner of the RB's. Chase Brown is the lightning, Perine is the sledge
hammer and Tahj is more in between.
I didn't like losing Khalil Herbert because he was a good, thick runner. But between bringing back Perine and adding Tahj I am happy now.

Well I was never on the Binns train. I did maybe think Auden Tate could of been something with his size and range for a late round pick, but I
wouldn't put any of them in the Tahj Brooks mold, where he was a RB in an insanely deep RB class. These players can be studs more likely than
a late round WR behind talent.
Perine is getting up there in age and Moss shown nothing as a runner or a pass protector last year. Tahj only has Chase Brown as a sure thing in
front of him and he could very well get hurt.

Truth. I bet Tahj would of went much higher in the 2024 Draft.
