21 Years of Roster Change - Running Back

[jsy]

2021 & 2022 - We used 3 2,000 yd season South Florida RB's as our Top 3 RB's

For all the debates on what went wrong with Knighton, Parrish & Franklin....

Their Pro Day testing results are in - and I think we have our answer

WTF? i knew they were slow and weak but man
its ugly

Could they have moved Chaney to fullback?

That was my thought too.

Robert Burns left Miami at 225 - was 228 as a RB/FB at UConn - then weighed 222 at his Pro Day.

Burns got NFL practice squad paychecks from the Bears & Falcons for 2 years - so maybe Chaney is trying to go that route.

I agree. I used to call Parrish "a really good RB trapped in an unathletic body"

And that's when I thought Parrish was 190/4.6 not 180/4.7

Parrish did the best he could with the tools he had.

The 2020 class Chaney vs Knighton vs Parrish "who's better" arguments fell far short of expectations.

Parrish tested a lot better than that plenty of other times. That was a bad run. I'll ask all the Lane slurpers if he would have twice recruited an undersized back who actually runs a 4.7.

Then we look at Lyle who imo was probably the BIGGEST disappointment on the entire roster last yr. And everyone is just blaming it on Injury… idk we will see. I do wonder if we look back in 2-3yrs and see his combine/pro day performance and see he isn’t nearly the explosive athlete we thought he was…

Bingo. I've been saying since last off-season Lyle isn't as big or as athletic as people think he is.

My RB Stock Tips:

2025 Off-Season - Sell high on Lyle, buy low on Fletcher

2026 Off-season - Sell any Lyle stock you still have & Buy Pringle

Or if you like risky bets - Hold Lyle stock until after Game 4 of this season, then sell.
