Elijah Holyfield

[saX man]

UDFA's are a shot in the dark but I wouldn't mind hedging my bets on a Holyfield. 

RBs have been slaying it out of nowhere these past few years; I.E. Cohen, Conner, Lindsay, Breida, Gus Edwards, Kerryon Johnson.  Guys are coming out of every direction, the draft, and UDFA.

You guys are hitting the nail on the head about game speed. He’s a very consistent back with a rather high YPC in college.

Hood couldnt even make the raiders team. 

The Raiders had three talented backs. That's old news anyway.

Hard to get pumped about any UDFA. The hit percentage is extraordinarily low. Reminds me of the hype on Hood last offseason when it was pretty clear he was a PS/fringe NFL player, at best.

Does he have half an ear like his dad?

Depends when he was born...

I will say this, 40 times are a bullshit football measurement. Rarely do players run 40 yards in a straight line. I would much rather know what your 20 yard dash time is or your 3 cone drill. when you watch him in pads Holyfield he plays faster than his 4.78

Laugh all you want, but they had Marshawn Lynch, Jalen Richard and DeAndre.Washington. At the time, all three were productive in the Raiders' backfield before Chucky. Lynch goes without saying. Richard is their Swiss army knife, and even Washington was showing potential (and his YPC confirms it).

I'm actually higher on the Jordan Scarlett pick. hurney said they saw him break a lot of tackles, so i watched some of his highlights and it's more than just "a lot". that kid runs with fury and anger. Most of his runs are between the tackles and end with half the defense on his back.

I might like him better as a fullback. Admittedly though, I'm skeptical of his chances to make the team.

Someone else mentioned that Hurney likes to sign undrafted guys with ties to famous people or athletes. It's cool and all, but so far hasn't really produced anybody special.

A just a name for the RB group- The gun showcase.

Cmc, hood, Holyfield, Scarlett even Bonnafon looking like New day.

Lol talented on paper? They were bad during tc and hood couldnt even make it

Doesn't invalidate anything. 

 I get that people are often enthralled by the the new kids on the block, but I'll believe it when I see it. At this point there is no reason to put one late round or UDFA over the other. I've seen all this excitement and hype before, but one or more could easily be destined for multiple seasons on the practice squad.

Holyfield should’ve been drafted. Scarlett and Holyfield are legit. They ain’t Panthers’ favorites Damiere Byrd and Dean Marlowe poo crap jags

I would be pretty stunned if Scarlett or Holyfield were ever as productive as Byrd was.

These guys did solid in the SEC, which gives me hope. I noticed we got Little, Miller, Scarlett, Godwin, Daley and Holyfield all from the SEC.  They tend to face the toughest talent week by week.
