This is one of those posts that will be bumped in 2 years with a "LMAO".

Sproles 2.0

Like the pick actually. Good complementary back.

Considering he did this all with no high picks in any round is even more impressive.

And this years Darwin award goes to Thompson

YayMike 04-28-2019 05:57 AM

Wow! 3rd down back/gadget player of this value this late?! Wow!! Way to go Veach

This guy looks like a mix of Darren Sproles and Kareem Hunt.

Goddamn does he look like a playmaker. Dude is really ****ing fast.

Doesn’t say his 40 time on his draft profile, but he’s gotta be a sub 4.4 guy

MahiMike 04-28-2019 07:35 AM

If he kills it this year, we should give him some kind award. Thinking of a good name for it...

ptlyon 04-28-2019 07:41 AM

The Thompson award?

YayMike 04-28-2019 07:48 AM

The “god damnit Veach he’s not a ****ing CB” award?

duncan_idaho 04-28-2019 07:51 AM

Tape is impressive. I like it a bunch and wouldn’t be surprised if he translates it to being more than a 3rd down back. Looks like a more powerful runner than Damien Williams to me.

If there was an aspect of the run game the Chiefs missed after cutting Kareem Hunt, it was the ability to break tackles and gain yards after contact. Looks like Darwin can help with that.

The flexibility as a receiver is nice, too.

I think I read that he only ran a 4.5 at his pro day, but he looks a lot faster than that. And more importantly, THE GUY BREAKS TACKLES. And a lot of them.

If he's only going to be used as a DAT-like gadget player for the next year, we've gotten a real upgrade as DAT would go down when you blew on him.

Kiimo 04-28-2019 08:40 AM

I think the comparison with DAT and Sproles is extremely misguided.

I love Sproles but this guy is way more of a beast that is hard to bring down. His height and weight are more like Ray Rice, however blasphemous it is to make that comparison.

ReynardMuldrake 04-28-2019 08:56 AM

Please make his nickname "The Fittest".

RunKC 04-28-2019 09:00 AM

Not sure if posted but wow. This guy is really strong
