RBs at NFL Combine ready to show their stuff

But on Thursday afternoon, he certainly didn’t waste any time. If you draft Fournette, you better give him 25 touches in the run game.

In fact, he thinks he’s the best.

If you’re a college football fan who cares not at all about the NFL, Thursday is your day. “I think there’s a chance that he might have a [mediocre] 40”.

He has struggled with fumbles and some off the field issues but produced 5,366 yards and 81 touchdowns in three seasons with he Seminoles. “Now we’re here at combine week, and there’s a lot of buzz, and I’m just trying to embrace it all and take advantage of it”.

“I knew he was a big back and he looked good at 240”, Caldwell said.

Regardless of which round they go with a tailback, the Jaguars need to fix a running game that has ranked 30th, 31st, 21st, 27th and 22nd the last five years.

On which team might draft him: “It doesn’t matter which team I play for”.

“It was surprising”, the LSU product said Thursday.

“Fournette is a different conversation than Dalvin Cook, Christian McCaffrey, or Alvin Kamara, or throw Mixon in there, because those last four guys are today’s NFL”, Mayock said. If that happens, he won’t be available. Minnesota will pick either 14th or 15th in rounds two through seven based on the result of the coin flip.

“It’s all on how I perform and how it gets me to jump the draft board”, Cook said. Both the Colts and the Eagles are interested parties to determine the one-pick difference.

It’s hard to tell. But after watching Ezekiel Elliott make such an immediate and important impact on the Cowboys’ 13-3 season, don’t be surprised if those same doubters become imitators. Since then, Roseman has acknowledged that everything he said back then in regard to the draft was nonsense; they were just trying to move up to snag Carson Wentz. But the No. 2 rusher a year ago was Chicago’s Jordan Howard, a fifth-round pick who was evidence that quality running backs can be found even on the draft’s third day.

Cook thinks he can have similar success.

“Usually [Williams] would be a quicker conversation for us”, said one evaluator whose team once believed that Williams would be out of reach. “I’ve just got to go and do my part”. He can run and block. Ryan Mathews, who is recovering from a neck injury, could be a salary-cap casualty when he’s healthy. The pending trade for Dolphins left tackle Branden Albert has a let’s-focus-on-the-run look, and potential free-agent guard targets such as Kevin Zeitler of Cincinnati and Larry Warford of Detroit have a similar feel. Next season will be about showing he was more than just a flash in the pan.

Hill has been training alongside other draft hopefuls at Bommarito Performance Systems in Davie, Florida, and he said he has been running 40-yard dashes in under 4.5 seconds. Maybe better than ever.

“There are a lot of great running backs here, and it’s not my decision”.

D’Onta Foreman wants to be like Zeke. Like Cook, he’ll probably go in the first round.
