Sony Michel is what is he is.
A down hill, tough runner. Not a home run guy.
Very good in blitz pick up. Smart player. Reliable. And it is these 3 attributes that Snead brought him in for.
We can find many dazzling RBs in this league; but only a few that take care of the ball and are very good in blitz pick up. Because it's not just an issue of throwing your body around; it's an issue of figuring out where the blitz is going to come from, and this is based on the O line call.
For the Rams it's his pass pro that matters so much because this is a pass-first team with an elite passer. Same with Henderson.
