And slower at this size. That’s my point. He’s not a big enough to be a between tackles banger imo. He’s best when he’s a threat in the passing game (his hands and shiftiness are his NFL attributes) and off tackle. Basically exact same as BuckyA healthy DT is definitely a NFL running back. He's also much bigger than Bucky.
He was 15 pounds or so lighter when he came in and looked faster. No doubt they wanted him to bulk up to try be an every down back.

Tons of guys are better getting it 10-15x a game and we have (well had prior to all the injuries) guys who look like they could all tote it this year. Kind of like the year we had Potts, Irving, and Thomas all splitting
