The Running Back Room

I think the quote may have been Scott is a freshman inside a senior’s body - not the opposite?  Wandale needs to return kicks as well unless Brown or another is better.  We got to get big plays in returns and get field position edge by punts and coverages. Speed is vital.

Given the WR situation, I'd be really surprised to see Robinson returning kicks but PR is a possibility because you want someone seasoned there.  I have no insight on this, but I think the freshman are going to get first crack at KR.  Maybe a mix of Alante Brown/Fleming/Houston/Nance.  Lotta speed there.  I feel like NU hasn't had a punt return over 10 yards since Pierson El was back there.

On a side note, and I know this is a RB thread, but have we ever been this stocked with talent at QB?  Three legitimate four star guys,  and they are all gifted athletically.

You’d have to go all the way back to 2018, where we started the year with Martinez, Gebbia, and O’Brien. Good ol’ days, when times were simpler.

Hilarious!  Honestly, I just didn't think about those three.  I guess it might be because we knew these guys were probably not going to work for what Frost wanted to do.  Additionally, they were not as athletic as the three we have now.

I would agree.  The athleticism at the position is fantastic right now.

Agreed.  Just making a joke since I feel like we've never been short of 4* backup quarterbacks.

Word is Thompkins is the #2 RB as of right now.

Coaches trying to decide if they'll release a depth chart to the public before the first game or not...

There’s a lot of talent in that room so for him to come out as #2 especially ahead of Rahmir who played last year is pretty big. Great for him if true.
