My one problem with this article is
He did that despite running into loaded boxes 44 percent of the time, according to Sports Info Solutions. Of the five backs drafted before Dillon, Georgia’s D’Andre Swift was a distant second at 21 percent.
I'm pretty sure other articles have listed the Wisconsin RB drafted as second place guy with very close but slightly higher than 21 percent.
But yes, I screwed up my evaluation of the Packers which basically eliminated all power runners.
LaFleur did very little power running that I noticed, and he mentioned that in a press conference in the early off-season that he liked to do more, I write that off as just talk, as he would have done more of it.
But nope, Packers actions seem to back that up, more power running to go with the wide zone (not to be confused with outside zone, as that pisses off Coach Alex Gibbs whom basically came up with it and teaches it).
And I failed, because when evaluating the system, I quite literally said, looking at all that are running this system before last year... it's all be quick power RBs in the system, with super quick guys as backups. And other than Vikings and Packers that was true last year too.
And I also have said, including this year, don't be surprised if they draft a RB high, as this entire system is basically built around the idea of making the RB into a mighty threat to take pressure off the QB and have that threat open up the passing game.
And combine wise,
Dillion does favor another star RB
