Quinton Flowers---One thing that coaches harp on is being a "complete" back. None of the backup RB's distinguished themselves running, but Flowers had 2 absolutely beautiful blitz pickup blocks on one series. One was an outside blitz that he stoned....the other was an inside blitzer....that he PANCAKED. Unless one of the backups looks lights out on ST or with the ball in their hands, I think Flowers might block his was onto this team's 53.
Michael Jordan---he's quick off the ball and was 100% effective in neutralizing defenders on the second level and doesn't get pushed back in his lateral movement. Had a little trouble with his anchor and balance in pass pro but was effective more than not in that. I could see him stealing a OG starting position.
Auden Tate-- looks more confident in his routes and solidified his reputation in pulling down high throws and contested catches. Was also the best blocking wideout.
Stock Down
Jefferson--doesn't belong in the NFL....Makes Hardy Nickerson look good.
Lippett--playing his way off this team as well.
Jordan Evans--His speed and stature and fluid movement look so good, like a Mike Shazier.....but just doesn't translate that to production. Maddening.
Flowers has no shot at the 53 outside of an injury unfortunately. Mixon/Gio/Williams/Anderson will be your 4 backs.
Who is Mike Shazier?
