00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:23,559
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host,

2
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:27,800
Corey Evans. I am continuing my Rookie player Comps series

3
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:31,320
here of free content. This week is running back. Last week,

4
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:34,560
if you missed, it was quarterback Prospects. So this week

5
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,679
I have five prospects in the twenty twenty six rookie

6
00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:39,439
class that are running backs or I'm going to give

7
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:41,840
you player comps from both a style in terms of

8
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:46,759
washing tape and seeing similarities in skill set and or

9
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,679
how a running back approaches a position to NFL examples

10
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,119
either current or former players, and then their actual skill set,

11
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:57,119
the prospect themselves and what I see on film and

12
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,439
their outlook from college of the pro scene scarts. We

13
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:02,799
go on vacation, so depending if I can get into

14
00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:04,760
my schedule or not, there may or may not be

15
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:05,879
a free show next week.

16
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,159
Speaker 2: So if there is cool, I was able to work

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,519
around my calendar.

18
00:01:09,599 --> 00:01:12,079
Speaker 1: If not, it'll be business as usual when I return

19
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:15,599
with a rookie wide Receiver player Comps episode. Just wanted

20
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,400
to give that a heads up call out notice in

21
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:20,719
case you do not see an episode next week. But

22
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:23,159
for now, let's get to the rookie running back player

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,480
comps show up first. I have Jonah Coleman out of Washington,

24
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:29,480
who will be twenty three in August. He's five eight

25
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,159
two twenty so packs of punch at running back with

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,439
that body frame, the style I see David Montgomery with

27
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:39,840
more juice, more agility, meets Joe Mixon, lateral side to

28
00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:43,879
side movement and upfield elusiveness. The skill set for Jonah

29
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,040
Coleman out of Washington, there's burst. There is jump cuts

30
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:49,680
all over the place, chalk full of it on his film,

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,560
as well as plus vision. When he's moving upfield, there's

32
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:55,840
build up speeding acceleration that is deceptive in terms of

33
00:01:55,879 --> 00:01:58,560
him not being necessarily the quickest or fastest when it

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,400
comes to straight line speed. But as he moves downfield downhill,

35
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:05,319
there's certainly more than meets the I, and he moves

36
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:07,879
much quicker than his size would suggest for that five

37
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:10,400
eight two twenty pound frame, even at times looks like

38
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:14,000
Deebo Samuel like a bowling ball, bouncing around defenders when

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,360
he's shedding or breaking tacklers. And there is a three

40
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,800
down tool skill set that Jodan Coleman offers or was

41
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:22,960
utilized that with Washington at the college level, speaking of

42
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,719
five and a half yards per carry across five hundred

43
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:29,759
fifty two rushing attempts, thirty four rushing touchdowns eighty seven receptions.

44
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:32,240
That was all in fifty games played with both Arizona

45
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,319
and Washington. Jodan Coleman is projected to be a Day

46
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:39,280
two draft pick. He might slide to Day three. He

47
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,360
is pretty high in by pre draft running back rankings,

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,800
which this coincides with the Patreon episode that was recently published.

Speaker 2: Dude, that was a sidebar. But back to.

56
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:00,719
Speaker 1: Coleman is that I am higher on him than I

57
00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:03,159
think the consensus will be, and he's something I'll be

58
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:06,560
targeting often in rookie drafts. A course draft capital till all,

59
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,759
but I'm a fan of what I've seen on tape

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,960
out of Washington, with a combination of size to set

61
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,759
the speed and his agility side to side. The jump

62
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:16,400
cuts are really fun to watch and I do think

63
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,639
it will transition to the pro level. Hence my David

64
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,479
Montgomery Joe Mixon comparison or range of outcomes in a

65
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,400
best case scenario.

66
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,599
Speaker 2: Up next is Mike Washington Junior out of Arkansas.

67
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: He's been the talk of the town, a hyped up

68
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,120
prospect that has really post singable increased his draft stock.

69
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:36,080
He will be twenty three in July six one two

70
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:39,360
twenty three. So a massive running back body frame here.

71
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,960
The style reminds me of Brian Robinson with far more

72
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,080
speed based on that upright Russian stands meets for an

73
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,120
old school comp DeMarco Murray, that downhill approach where once

74
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,680
he gains steam upfield, it's hard to tackle him downhill.

75
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:56,840
The skill set for Mike Washington Junior big play machine,

76
00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:59,520
home run hitter anytime he touches the ball very fast,

77
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,439
and I'll talk about that on his test team. In

78
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:04,159
the combine, he has a tall running motion. It's upright.

79
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,800
He is dangerous in the flat as a receiver, as

80
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,400
an outlet, and then on swing passes. If you let

81
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:12,240
him get one on one, it's game over. He is

82
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,639
going to take it to the house or at least

83
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,160
push past the second and third level of defensive coverage

84
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:19,959
four point three three forty at six yoe two twenty

85
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,399
three is outright insane, and it is a big reason

86
00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:25,360
why Mike Washington Junior is such an intriguing prospect from

87
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,639
a size speed perspective at running back.

88
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: One point five to one ten.

89
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,959
Speaker 1: Yard split, thirty nine ers vertical and a ten foot

90
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:35,240
eight inch broad all around made Mike Washington arguably the

91
00:04:35,319 --> 00:04:38,680
best running back testing wise at this year's Combine, which

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,920
now has him firmly on the Day two map in

93
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,759
rounds two to three, five yards per carry on five

94
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,480
hundred and eighty seven koreer rushes, twenty six rossing touchdowns

95
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,279
seventy three receptions. That's all in fifty one games played

96
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,800
with Buffalo, New Mexico State and Arkansas. There is somewhat

97
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,279
of a concern in terms of durability or lack of

98
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,839
production comparedits peers for Mike Washington Junior, and is his

99
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:01,639
skill set to one side in the sense that if

100
00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:05,560
he's not given that flat or swing pass as a

101
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,160
receiver or the one cut, open hole rushing lane, candy thrive.

102
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,600
And I understand those concerns or hesitations with him as

103
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,399
a prospect, but the talent in terms of skill set

104
00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:19,839
and athleticism is undeniable. So I am really excited to

105
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,079
see where an NFL team decides to take Mike Washington Junior.

106
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:25,920
And again I see Brian Robinson at more speed meets

107
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,720
DeMarco Murray, that physical downhill approach. When it comes to

108
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,680
player comps. Adam Randall out of Clemson. He is twenty

109
00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:36,519
two this upcoming July. Another large body running back prospect

110
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,399
six three, two thirty two, even bigger ben Mike Washington Junior.

111
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,560
His style, bigger version, but reminds me of ver Shad

112
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,560
White meets travesy Ten Junior in terms of pure stylistic approach.

113
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,920
When I'm watching tape of Adam Randall, the skill set

114
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,360
itself for Randall. He's a run after catch specialist, even

115
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,120
a yard off the contact guru, converted wide receiver who

116
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,519
brings receiving traits to the running back position.

117
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,439
Speaker 2: Even a bit raw as.

118
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: A running back, he still put up soult numbers for

119
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,639
Clemson in twenty twenty five. There's power here. He's smoothed

120
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,879
between the tackles. He's elusive for his size. Another upright

121
00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:14,000
rusher like Mike Washington good contact balance for Adam Randall.

122
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,000
Fifty games play with Clemson, his receiving line was eighty

123
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,560
four seven eighty seven and five with the rushing production

124
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,720
one seventy two eighty eight and ten touchdowns for five

125
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,240
yards per carry. Think in terms of NFL trajectory Antonio

126
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,240
Gibson out of Memphis to what he was able to

127
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,120
do even for a short stint with Washington, there was

128
00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:35,800
RB one RB two value to be had. Adam Randall

129
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,639
is one of my favorite sleeper running backs on the

130
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,920
Day three radar right now, but if a team takes

131
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,439
a shot on him in Day two, he's going to

132
00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:46,120
be someone that I reach for in dynasty rookie drafts

133
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,639
because if he has the all round skill set to

134
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,199
be a receiver and rusher in the right offensive scheme,

135
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,759
there is immense fantasy upside here.

136
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: And again, the style I see.

137
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: Is Rashad White's patience and upright stance meets the explosiveness

138
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,680
and high ceiling three down potential of a traves etn junior.

139
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: Time for quick break. I'll be back with two more.

140
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Rookie running back player comps before I get to that.

141
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,759
If you want a one on one roster call. Don't

142
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,199
hesitate to reach out over on Google Meet. We'll talk

143
00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:16,120
shop about your team or teams. I offer them in

144
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:20,360
two different increments thirty bucks thirty minutes or fifty dollars

145
00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:23,879
for one hour. You can email me Dynasty upogmail dot

146
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:26,120
com or send me a DM on social media to

147
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,199
get that call coordinated. Before we know, the NFL Draft

148
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:31,680
will be here and our rookie drafts will be also

149
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:33,759
right around the corner. So I'm here as an outlet.

150
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:36,639
We want to discuss your team strategy or get my

151
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,839
opinion on whate would do in your shoes. Time for

152
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:43,040
that quick break and I'll be right back. Let's now

153
00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:46,879
discuss Demon Claiborne out of wake Forest twenty three in

154
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:49,800
October of this year. He's five ten, one eighty eight,

155
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:52,879
so a bit on the smaller side framewise for the NFL.

156
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,639
The style I see in a best case scenario would

157
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,360
be devon Chan in terms of his speed and slashing

158
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:02,160
Ussian style. But again, is such a unique running back

159
00:08:02,439 --> 00:08:05,160
a unicorn if you will, based on his size, speed

160
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,040
and versatility, so that is unlikely, but I do see

161
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,160
that as a best case scenario. More realistically, the style

162
00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:16,480
of Claiborne's game is Aaron Jones meets what we had

163
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:19,879
hoped Taj Spears would have been for Tennessee. That's more

164
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:22,959
probable in terms of what might happen for Clayborne in

165
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:24,839
the NFL. His skill set is that there's a ton

166
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:27,759
of bounce in his game. He's agile, there's a good vision.

167
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:31,639
The explosiveness is evident from watching his tape. As I mentioned,

168
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,879
he is a slashing rushing style, cut in between the

169
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,360
open field left and right, side to side, and he

170
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:40,320
has very quick feet. The speed isn't as great as

171
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,080
Mike Washington Junior, but it's not far behind four point

172
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,559
three seven forty and at five po ten one eight.

173
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,840
Clayborne needs said speed to work in the NFL because

174
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,279
he's not going to be a three down weapons. He's

175
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,320
going to be change of pace and or complimentary in RBBC.

176
00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:58,000
But it might just work to be fantasy viable, and

177
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,639
he's like Adam Randa, one of my favorite Day two

178
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,639
Day three on that borderline prospects more likely. Day three

179
00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:06,559
on this NFL team is sold on him being a

180
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,480
devon eight chan sort of impact player, but again that's

181
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:12,440
on the highest range of outcomes and not likely forty

182
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,320
four games play with wake Forest four point seven yards

183
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,279
per carry on five hundred and fifty eight rushing attempts,

184
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,360
twenty six rushing touchdowns, and fifty five receptions in all

185
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:25,799
around well rounded prospect in a week running back class,

186
00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:28,480
Let's be honest. Outside of Jeremiah Love, it is a

187
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,480
questionable average to below.

188
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: Average running back class.

189
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: But the names are bringing up today have been a

190
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,600
few of my favorites to watch on film in hopes

191
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:38,600
that they find a role that helps us in fantasy.

192
00:09:38,759 --> 00:09:40,840
And last, but not least is Le'Veon Moss out of

193
00:09:40,919 --> 00:09:42,799
Texas A and M. He's a bit older, it'll be

194
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,200
twenty four this November five to eleven, two oh three.

195
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,559
He struggled with injuries in college, which does limit his

196
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,759
production compared to other prospects in this rookie class. That

197
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,720
being said, I've liked what I've seen Stylistically, I see

198
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,919
a smaller version of Tony Pollard with the upside of

199
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,279
what he marks, the impact that marks the able to make.

200
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,720
But Houston, I could see a running back needy team

201
00:10:02,759 --> 00:10:05,000
taking a gamble on Le'Veon Moss and him carving out

202
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:07,039
a role like what he marks did in twenty twenty five.

203
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:09,879
The skill set itself for Moss is that he's a

204
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,679
very patient between a tackle rusher, no nonsense, one cut upfield,

205
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:17,879
good vision, he's physical, he initiates contact like a twenty

206
00:10:17,919 --> 00:10:20,720
powder what he marks when given the rock. On early downs,

207
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,480
Le'Veon Moss does lack speed, whether it be intermediate at

208
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,840
the top end, it's certainly not there at least when.

209
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,519
Speaker 2: You watch tape.

210
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: But there's enough efficiency to think that he can be

211
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:34,799
an early down threat or situational red zone based asset

212
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:37,720
for us to monitor and keep on Dynasty rosters. Thirty

213
00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:39,720
two career games play but Texas A and M five

214
00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:42,120
and a half yards per carry on three's with twenty

215
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,759
one rushing attempts, twenty two rushing scores, and twenty four receptions.

216
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,600
So unlike some of the other names that I've discussed

217
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,039
on this week's episode, Leavion Moss is certainly more of

218
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,600
a one dimensional early down rusher. The three down tools

219
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,639
don't necessarily exist, but it comes to pass pro or

220
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,519
receptions in terms of his college usage, and I don't

221
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,639
think that he will suddenly change that at the pro level.

222
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,240
But again, reliable and called upon which stylistically I do

223
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:09,159
see some Tony Pollard.

224
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,519
Speaker 2: Meets Woody Marks vibes.

225
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: Moss at five eleven two oh three certainly has the

226
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,200
size to make that sort of impact for an NFL squad.

227
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening up.

228
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,879
Speaker 1: Be all enjoyed my Rookie Running Back Player Comps episode.

229
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: If you did, please take a.

230
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: Few moments drop a five star review on Apple or Spotify.

231
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,720
Helps me on a lot as a one man show

232
