Really like Tra Carson though.
From Cincy Jungle:
"The latest addition is Dy'Shawn Mobley, the former Kentucky Wildcat turned Eastern Kentucky Colonel running back.
Before the 2016 offseason, Mobley was considered to be one of the better running back prospects in the NFL draft. A less productive senior season for Eastern Kentucky and a less than stellar performance at the combine caused him to completely drop out of the seventh round this year. But, he has enough talent to get work done in the NFL if he can bring the whole package together."
From what I've heard he had really good stats in 2014 - something like 1,400 yards, but was injured most of 2015. He has nice size - 5'10' 227#s. He's really chiseled. But what got my attention was how Paul Alexander yelled out during the rookie camp praising him for his vision, decision making and a really good sharp cut. You don't often hear Alexander say anything to players outside his position group.
One of the problems Hill had last year appeared to be that he was just making poor decisions when and where to hit the hole or make a cut. Sounded like Mobley did both.
OK it's one rookie camp in underwear - but it fueled my hunger for a really pleasant TC surprise.
