Cameron Artis-Payne Impresses

[LinvilleGorge]

Why get your hopes up for a 5th round RB?  Lets see if he makes the roster first

 

There were 13 1000 yard rushers in the NFL last year.  Four of them were drafted in the 5th round or later.

4.6 is plenty of speed for a RB. Small area quickness, burst, and vision are far more important than pure straight line speed.

 

Yep. What did Kenyon Barner run, like a 4.2 or 4.3? But his vision was crap.

So Fozzy doesn't exist anymore?

[Paa Langfart]

Wasnt Tyler Gafney chosen last year in the 6th round?

Yep, Gaffney in the 6th last year and Barner in the 7th the year before.  If the trend continues, we'll be taking a 4th round RB next year.

Gafney's tape wasnt even halfway as impressive as Payne's

Because last year's fifth round corner turned out to be pretty good.

[@bobbyagnese]

He's making the 53.

[Moorgan]

He's making the 53.

I think all the draft picks make the 53. The interesting part at this point before camp, is which UDFAs make the 53. I'm in for Miley. Not sure who else.

Fozzy Whittaker > Cameron Artis-Payne

 

Artis-Payne can beat out Reaves, but he will not be ahead of Stewart, Tolbert, and Whittaker.

 

When the hits start flying between the tackles, Artis-Payne will be bobbling around and hitting the ground like he did in college. Artis-Payne's strength is slashing up the field outside of the tackles and catching out of the backfield. Same as Whittaker, but Whittaker is faster and a bit more agile bouncing off of hits. Whittaker can also out run defenders. Artis-Payne will always get caught.

I disagree wholeheartedly.

I know a few of you are high on Fozzy from a couple big plays, but the truth is that he isn't an every down back. I don't think it's a stretch to call him mediocre.

I don't compare Tolbert to the other RB's. He's not in same category. I think CAP will easily be better than Fozzy. There's a reason why he was released by 3 teams in a 16 month period.

Holy poo.  

 

1600+ yards, 5.3 ypc, and 13 TDs worth of "bobbling around and hitting the ground".

 

Defensive players must have been hitting him from behind and tackling him forward.
