He can catch. He can run. I think he has a shot of making the 53 man roster. His only detriment is his speed.
Speed detriment? Didn't know Dillon was White. But seriously, I really like the interview he gave and he seems so damned level headed and smart. Love watching and listening to that dude talk. Doesn't he do a great job blocking too? That means SO much in the NFL,He can catch. He can run. I think he has a shot of making the 53 man roster. His only detriment is his speed.
The most important thing out of all that is pass protection and he’s very good at picking up blitzes. If a RB doesn’t pick up in pass protection in the NFL he’s not going to play.Not sure how high he's drafted, but he looks like an NFL back to me.
1. Hit the hole and get more than you should. Check
2. Protect the ball. Check.
3. Catch the ball out of the backfield. Check.
4. Block for your QB when necessary. Check.
The top end speed is completely overrated. Outside of a few backs, nobody expects the RB to outrun anyone these days. I'm paying $100 million for a too QB, LT, and some receivers. I want a cheap RB that can move the sticks a few times, protect my QB, and make my play action passing game more effective. DJ fits that mold nicely.
I like DJ a lot….but not real sure how he stacks up against other solid but not spectacular backs we’ve had in the past.He can catch. He can run. I think he has a shot of making the 53 man roster. His only detriment is his speed.
