Thanks for the link, thats a good find! While I think that LF will be a good RB in the NFL, I'm not so sure he's built for our type of offense. Especially when compared to Dalvin Cook. To me, we already have LF's skill set on the team in Jeremy Hill. I do think LF will be better than JH, but the similiarities are there. Big, powerful back who can run you over or hit the gas and blow right by you, but has problems with reading blocks, a guy who doesn't run well out of the shotgun formation and flourishes with a Fullback in front of him.
I wouldn't be upset at all if we drafted this guy, he is a tough guy who plays through injuries, has the body type to thrive in the AFCN..but unless we're cutting JH and replacing him with LF..I'd pass and pick Dalvin Cook. If we draft a RB, I want a guy who is skilled in both running AND catching..this telegraphing what we're doing via whoever we trot out there has got to stop!
