However, I think a few of these RBs are going to eat their way out of the league. If you're coming out of college at 240, with all of the year round work they put in, training table meals, etc., once signed to a contract and left to their own devices, I could see a 240 swelling up to 255 in a year or two.
Besides, aren't you tired of the Bengals plays being absurdly predictable by the personnel set in the game? I would rather have a Cook or Mixon, they are a bit leaner, both catch well out of the backfield, and can block. I see Fournette as just a bigger Jeremy Hill, Foreman from Texas has already been stated as walking around at 245 in the offseason. Battering rams are great, when you can tuck one on the roster to pull out when you need him, but for the featured back you need a true, all purpose back. Keeps the entire playbook open for the opposition to defend.
Great points made here, leaving only one question - does the organization have the mindset to address such things?
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
