Move Salvon to WR

1000 yards 5.5 yards per carry, 2nd or 3rd in Pac 12 Rushing
Missed a game, had 6 attempts one game and 8 attempts against Hawaii.
I’m not sure he should be number one. In ideal conditions, he would have been 1a with Newton 1b. Both should have averaged 12-15 rush attempts per game.

I don’t recall seeing a ton of draw plays or trying to get him to the edge.
Even I formation with Newton taking the A gap like last night would have been an improvement against the teams that made Eason look like brown socks 🧦 2

PGOS was first, right.

No way I'd accept that move this year if I'm Salvon, there's like 75 receivers in this draft who would rank above him. His path is much more clear as an RB.

He declared early and yet is being asked to change positions. We are laughing. I don't have a lot of sympathy for his plight. I do hope he makes a decent living on the Detroit Lions practice squad though.
 
You know who else the NFL wanted to move to WR? 2019 NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. Salvon should really show those stupid NFL GMs by not running the 40/agility and only doing running back drills. Lamar Jackson 2.0
 
Clyde Edwards-Helaire looked like a really good RB to me. Short and stocky. Not a WR type.

Edwards-Helaire is a perfect change of pace back for teams that like to use RBs as pass-catchers out of the backfield, which is more and more. Not sure why anyone would see him as a WR.
 
Here's the output for both Ahmed and Newton yesterday:

Ahmed: 5, 2, 5, 4, 5, 2, 89, 7, -3, 7, 2, 6, 0, 4, 6
Newton: 2, 2, 1, 6, 1, 0, 2, 6, 0

I'm the biggest #FeedTheNewt fan around (I've got a $30 Chinesium jersey en route), but I know which of those two production levels I prefer. Ahmed had a 15 yarder that was called back for holding, too.

That being said, I'd love to see Terrorist's role be diversified into more pass catching, witness his straight line speed; he outran USC's secondary on an up the middle run, whereas Stephen Carr couldn't outrun ours.

It doesn’t really mean shit. It could have been two teams.

It also doesn't mean shit because those teams are considering him as an all around back not a WR. They just want to see if he can catch like a competent WR.

He’s not small. He’s just short. 5’8” 210 is plenty big. I think he can be an every down back. He was a beast. Killed it against Bama and was their best player that game. Against Clemson, they were a little too pass happy although it’s tough to complain when you put up points like they did.
