Royce Freeman RB Oregon

[Soul Rebel]

Since we're looking to replace our former Oregon Duck, why not possibly with another ex-Oregon Duck.....

Royce Freeman

5'11"   229lbs.  22 years old

947 carries - 5,621yds - 60TD

 

IMO, lots to love about this guy if we're waiting until the 3rd round or so to draft a RB.  He does have A LOT of mileage on his odometer, but he looks like an ideal compliment to what McCaffrey offers us. Dude is big, but has enough elusiveness and able to get small at the line to not be a "bruising" big back. I see a bit of David Johnson in watching him, but not as talented of a receiver....and also a bit of Jordan Howard.  

He's got a lot of wear and tear on his body from HS and 4 years at Oregon. Missed a good chunk of the 2016 season due to injury as well.

I wouldn't mind him with one of our third rounders much the way I wanted D'Onta Foreman on day 3 last year. If we bypass RB up to this point, I'd be happy with Freeman. There are a few other RBs that I prefer with us, but Freeman is def in the mix for day 3 picks.

Yea we're going to have a lot of options at RB in rounds 2 - 5. The staff is probably taking hard looks at Nick Chubb and Royce Freeman .
