Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. I am continuing my Rookie player Comps series
here of free content. This week is running back. Last week,
if you missed, it was quarterback Prospects. So this week
I have five prospects in the twenty twenty six rookie
class that are running backs or I'm going to give
you player comps from both a style in terms of
washing tape and seeing similarities in skill set and or
how a running back approaches a position to NFL examples
either current or former players, and then their actual skill set,
the prospect themselves and what I see on film and
their outlook from college of the pro scene scarts. We
go on vacation, so depending if I can get into
my schedule or not, there may or may not be
a free show next week.
Speaker 2: So if there is cool, I was able to work
around my calendar.
Speaker 1: If not, it'll be business as usual when I return
with a rookie wide Receiver player Comps episode. Just wanted
to give that a heads up call out notice in
case you do not see an episode next week. But
for now, let's get to the rookie running back player
comps show up first. I have Jonah Coleman out of Washington,
who will be twenty three in August. He's five eight
two twenty so packs of punch at running back with
that body frame, the style I see David Montgomery with
more juice, more agility, meets Joe Mixon, lateral side to
side movement and upfield elusiveness. The skill set for Jonah
Coleman out of Washington, there's burst. There is jump cuts
all over the place, chalk full of it on his film,
as well as plus vision. When he's moving upfield, there's
build up speeding acceleration that is deceptive in terms of
him not being necessarily the quickest or fastest when it
comes to straight line speed. But as he moves downfield downhill,
there's certainly more than meets the I, and he moves
much quicker than his size would suggest for that five
eight two twenty pound frame, even at times looks like
Deebo Samuel like a bowling ball, bouncing around defenders when
he's shedding or breaking tacklers. And there is a three
down tool skill set that Jodan Coleman offers or was
utilized that with Washington at the college level, speaking of
five and a half yards per carry across five hundred
fifty two rushing attempts, thirty four rushing touchdowns eighty seven receptions.
That was all in fifty games played with both Arizona
and Washington. Jodan Coleman is projected to be a Day
two draft pick. He might slide to Day three. He
is pretty high in by pre draft running back rankings,
which this coincides with the Patreon episode that was recently published.
If you want access to those pre draft rankings, joined
Patreon with tier levels of five, twelve, or twenty five
dollars per month.
Speaker 2: Episode links in your feed if you.
Speaker 1: Scroll down right now, or simply by going to patreon
dot com searching coreyons Dinas.
Speaker 2: Dude, that was a sidebar. But back to.
Speaker 1: Coleman is that I am higher on him than I
think the consensus will be, and he's something I'll be
targeting often in rookie drafts. A course draft capital till all,
but I'm a fan of what I've seen on tape
out of Washington, with a combination of size to set
the speed and his agility side to side. The jump
cuts are really fun to watch and I do think
it will transition to the pro level. Hence my David
Montgomery Joe Mixon comparison or range of outcomes in a
best case scenario.
Speaker 2: Up next is Mike Washington Junior out of Arkansas.
Speaker 1: He's been the talk of the town, a hyped up
prospect that has really post singable increased his draft stock.
He will be twenty three in July six one two
twenty three. So a massive running back body frame here.
The style reminds me of Brian Robinson with far more
speed based on that upright Russian stands meets for an
old school comp DeMarco Murray, that downhill approach where once
he gains steam upfield, it's hard to tackle him downhill.
The skill set for Mike Washington Junior big play machine,
home run hitter anytime he touches the ball very fast,
and I'll talk about that on his test team. In
the combine, he has a tall running motion. It's upright.
He is dangerous in the flat as a receiver, as
an outlet, and then on swing passes. If you let
him get one on one, it's game over. He is
going to take it to the house or at least
push past the second and third level of defensive coverage
four point three three forty at six yoe two twenty
three is outright insane, and it is a big reason
why Mike Washington Junior is such an intriguing prospect from
a size speed perspective at running back.
Speaker 2: One point five to one ten.
Speaker 1: Yard split, thirty nine ers vertical and a ten foot
eight inch broad all around made Mike Washington arguably the
best running back testing wise at this year's Combine, which
now has him firmly on the Day two map in
rounds two to three, five yards per carry on five
hundred and eighty seven koreer rushes, twenty six rossing touchdowns
seventy three receptions. That's all in fifty one games played
with Buffalo, New Mexico State and Arkansas. There is somewhat
of a concern in terms of durability or lack of
production comparedits peers for Mike Washington Junior, and is his
skill set to one side in the sense that if
he's not given that flat or swing pass as a
receiver or the one cut, open hole rushing lane, candy thrive.
And I understand those concerns or hesitations with him as
a prospect, but the talent in terms of skill set
and athleticism is undeniable. So I am really excited to
see where an NFL team decides to take Mike Washington Junior.
And again I see Brian Robinson at more speed meets
DeMarco Murray, that physical downhill approach. When it comes to
player comps. Adam Randall out of Clemson. He is twenty
two this upcoming July. Another large body running back prospect
six three, two thirty two, even bigger ben Mike Washington Junior.
His style, bigger version, but reminds me of ver Shad
White meets travesy Ten Junior in terms of pure stylistic approach.
When I'm watching tape of Adam Randall, the skill set
itself for Randall. He's a run after catch specialist, even
a yard off the contact guru, converted wide receiver who
brings receiving traits to the running back position.
Speaker 2: Even a bit raw as.
Speaker 1: A running back, he still put up soult numbers for
Clemson in twenty twenty five. There's power here. He's smoothed
between the tackles. He's elusive for his size. Another upright
rusher like Mike Washington good contact balance for Adam Randall.
Fifty games play with Clemson, his receiving line was eighty
four seven eighty seven and five with the rushing production
one seventy two eighty eight and ten touchdowns for five
yards per carry. Think in terms of NFL trajectory Antonio
Gibson out of Memphis to what he was able to
do even for a short stint with Washington, there was
RB one RB two value to be had. Adam Randall
is one of my favorite sleeper running backs on the
Day three radar right now, but if a team takes
a shot on him in Day two, he's going to
be someone that I reach for in dynasty rookie drafts
because if he has the all round skill set to
be a receiver and rusher in the right offensive scheme,
there is immense fantasy upside here.
Speaker 2: And again, the style I see.
Speaker 1: Is Rashad White's patience and upright stance meets the explosiveness
and high ceiling three down potential of a traves etn junior.
Speaker 2: Time for quick break. I'll be back with two more.
Speaker 1: Rookie running back player comps before I get to that.
If you want a one on one roster call. Don't
hesitate to reach out over on Google Meet. We'll talk
shop about your team or teams. I offer them in
two different increments thirty bucks thirty minutes or fifty dollars
for one hour. You can email me Dynasty upogmail dot
com or send me a DM on social media to
get that call coordinated. Before we know, the NFL Draft
will be here and our rookie drafts will be also
right around the corner. So I'm here as an outlet.
We want to discuss your team strategy or get my
opinion on whate would do in your shoes. Time for
that quick break and I'll be right back. Let's now
discuss Demon Claiborne out of wake Forest twenty three in
October of this year. He's five ten, one eighty eight,
so a bit on the smaller side framewise for the NFL.
The style I see in a best case scenario would
be devon Chan in terms of his speed and slashing
Ussian style. But again, is such a unique running back
a unicorn if you will, based on his size, speed
and versatility, so that is unlikely, but I do see
that as a best case scenario. More realistically, the style
of Claiborne's game is Aaron Jones meets what we had
hoped Taj Spears would have been for Tennessee. That's more
probable in terms of what might happen for Clayborne in
the NFL. His skill set is that there's a ton
of bounce in his game. He's agile, there's a good vision.
The explosiveness is evident from watching his tape. As I mentioned,
he is a slashing rushing style, cut in between the
open field left and right, side to side, and he
has very quick feet. The speed isn't as great as
Mike Washington Junior, but it's not far behind four point
three seven forty and at five po ten one eight.
Clayborne needs said speed to work in the NFL because
he's not going to be a three down weapons. He's
going to be change of pace and or complimentary in RBBC.
But it might just work to be fantasy viable, and
he's like Adam Randa, one of my favorite Day two
Day three on that borderline prospects more likely. Day three
on this NFL team is sold on him being a
devon eight chan sort of impact player, but again that's
on the highest range of outcomes and not likely forty
four games play with wake Forest four point seven yards
per carry on five hundred and fifty eight rushing attempts,
twenty six rushing touchdowns, and fifty five receptions in all
around well rounded prospect in a week running back class,
Let's be honest. Outside of Jeremiah Love, it is a
questionable average to below.
Speaker 2: Average running back class.
Speaker 1: But the names are bringing up today have been a
few of my favorites to watch on film in hopes
that they find a role that helps us in fantasy.
And last, but not least is Le'Veon Moss out of
Texas A and M. He's a bit older, it'll be
twenty four this November five to eleven, two oh three.
He struggled with injuries in college, which does limit his
production compared to other prospects in this rookie class. That
being said, I've liked what I've seen Stylistically, I see
a smaller version of Tony Pollard with the upside of
what he marks, the impact that marks the able to make.
But Houston, I could see a running back needy team
taking a gamble on Le'Veon Moss and him carving out
a role like what he marks did in twenty twenty five.
The skill set itself for Moss is that he's a
very patient between a tackle rusher, no nonsense, one cut upfield,
good vision, he's physical, he initiates contact like a twenty
powder what he marks when given the rock. On early downs,
Le'Veon Moss does lack speed, whether it be intermediate at
the top end, it's certainly not there at least when.
Speaker 2: You watch tape.
Speaker 1: But there's enough efficiency to think that he can be
an early down threat or situational red zone based asset
for us to monitor and keep on Dynasty rosters. Thirty
two career games play but Texas A and M five
and a half yards per carry on three's with twenty
one rushing attempts, twenty two rushing scores, and twenty four receptions.
So unlike some of the other names that I've discussed
on this week's episode, Leavion Moss is certainly more of
a one dimensional early down rusher. The three down tools
don't necessarily exist, but it comes to pass pro or
receptions in terms of his college usage, and I don't
think that he will suddenly change that at the pro level.
But again, reliable and called upon which stylistically I do
see some Tony Pollard.
Speaker 2: Meets Woody Marks vibes.
Speaker 1: Moss at five eleven two oh three certainly has the
size to make that sort of impact for an NFL squad.
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening up.
Speaker 1: Be all enjoyed my Rookie Running Back Player Comps episode.
