This guy is a classic Pace pick. Screams Jordan Howard-type talent who seems destined to put up a big season or two in Chicago. Bears never miss on these runningbacks under Pace. Even Jeremy Langford looked like a keeper his rookie year but washed out of the league for his own reasons.
I think everyone wants the steal of this draft to be Larry Borom or Thomas Graham Jr., but realistically this is probably the guy who will make the biggest impact from the late rounds.
I like the kid. He's going to be a nice compliment to what we want to do, and, hopefully, no step down in talent when Monty or Williams goes off the field.
Now, I do have to disagree with you over Langford. I NEVER liked that dude. Ugh.
The moment I first saw him play at Michigan State, I was like, this guy runs soft.
It was back when Pace was drafting soft athletes who played football and had some quasi mystical intangible upside. Right, hokus pokus nothing was what he had. I used to get pissed just watching him play. And, if I remember, Pace doubled down the next year and was like, he's our guy! He was pulling a Mitch before Mitch with Langford.
Dude, that guy sucked. He was garbage in the door and out the door. Good fucking riddance. He's one of the few players I've ever been like, fuck him that have ever played for the Bears. He gets me pissed like Bazuin! I just have to think about the dude to get upset.
