I'll confess that I was scratching my head and asking WTH?
But it was because of my ignorance.
After reading up on this kid, I became more and more comfortable.
For one thing, he's downright inspirational. A teammate's teammate. The kind of player one finds on playoff teams.
I read where he was the highest rated FB in the entire draft.
But you know what's the biggest thing? The biggest thing is that I think it means that McVay is damned serious about improving our running game and believes that a FB will turbocharge Gurley's production.
I read where Gurley's best production came when an H-back was blocking for him in '15. Last year, not so much. Wish I could provide a link. Sorry.
If true, this pick could bode very well for Gurley and our entire O. I think I badly underestimated this pick.
We'll see.
