He is projected to run in the mid 4.4's and will give us a back who can run straight ahead and get us the tough yards. If we are planning for life after Hill this is the guy in this draft I want. He is basically a poor mans Leonord Fournette.....but with better production and less wear and tear.I like mixon more but I think mixon is the best Rb in the draft. That said I love foremans running ability but I have some questions bc he was not utilized at all in the passing game and that concerns me. That's why we need to replace hill bc we telegraph our plays when hill is on the field on first down. As a rb he has insane production and I like him better than fournette but the lack of passing game concerns me.
A quick write up on him..
Foreman, a unanimous first-team selection, was the nation's leading rusher and totaled 2,028 yards on the ground despite playing in just 11 games. He averaged 184.4 yards per game in 2016, the 10th-most in NCAA history. He recorded 15 touchdowns. He became just the ninth Power 5 Conference player in NCAA history to record 2,000 yards in a season without the help of a bowl game. He had at least 124 yards in all 11 games and eclipsed the 250-yard mark in three games.
He will be there in the 2nd, and possibly the late 2nd for a trade up if we want him.
