Fletcher pass blocking

[E1k]

I agree pass pro has some affect on a RB's playing time. But different coaches/coordinators have different tolerance levels.

IMO there's a much wider range of RB's who actually play. There's plenty of good runners (not great or elite) who are bad in pass pro that still play a good role for their team.

PFF ranked 140 RB's in Pass Protection in 2025

Here's all the RB's that played 150+ snaps and didn't crack the Top 100 (and where they rank)

IMO these are all below solid/average pass blockers, but a wide range of talent levels that played a sizeable role

100 - Aaron Jones
101- Kenneth Walker
102 - Devon Achane
103 - Ashton Jeanty
105 - Bijan Robinson
106 - Kyle Monangai
108 - Treyveon Henderson
109 - Chase Brown
111 - Ty Johnson
114 - Jordan Mason
115 - Rico Dowdle
116 - Ollie Gordon
117 - Alvin Kamara
118 - Sean Tucker
119 - Dylan Sampson
121 - Bucky Irving
125 - Quinshon Judkins
126 - Brian Robinson
127 - Omarion Hampton
128 - Tank Bigsby
130 - Cam Skattebo

How many of these guys would you say are legit Rb1s currently?

You can tell our offense is different with him playing. Look how we looked in the wake forest game when he went out.
Also we are most likely gonna play a 16 game season. Pringle and Lyle will most likely get there burn in that 4 game stretch before the playoffs. Going into championship season you will have four backs producing at a high level and how many teams can say that. It’s a long season people we just getting started.
