He was the power back and that's the role I'm excited about for him here. I don't expect him to take the job from Mixon and go off for 1,000 yards a year. I expect he can give Mixon a breather from time to time and be the guy that gets the ball on the goaline or 3rd and 1 situations. He is also a very good pass protector, doesn't fumble, team leader and never gets out worked. These are my observations from his college years, did not watch any XFL.
He would give us a very diverse and balanced backfield; Mixon all around back, Gio the jitter bug third down specialist and Patrick the truck that will run a ************ over.
Good insight. Seems similar to Perine. Looks like that will be the battle for RB 4; as Trayveon Williams will be RB#3 barring injury
