I won't argue with that you see but I actually disagree. Here is an interesting stat below that shows just under 50% of his total college production came after contact. That is impressive and shows he doesn't go down that easy. he runs through contact hard when needed.Bronco Billy wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 5:13 pmLike I’ve posted in other threads. I see Etienne struggling between the tackles without gaping holes to run through. He’s too upright, his momentum gets stopped quickly by a thrown arm or a shoulder, he hesitates when the seam is skinny, and he can’t create in tight spaces.Ice wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 4:34 pmWhat weaknesses are you referring to?Bronco Billy wrote: ↑Sat May 15, 2021 3:18 pm
I think it’s a brilliant way of optimizing Etienne’s strengths while hiding his weaknesses. That’s good coaching. It doesn’t mean he’ll play WR. But it does get him the ball in space and could give the Jags a different look if they put Etienne, Shenault, and Robinson all on the field at the same time. That could conceivably put a ton of pressure on opposing LBs and open the offense to fly sweeps each way while still maintaining a power aspect, along with the passing angle.
686 RA 4952 Yards 7.2 YPA 70 TD's
102 REC 1155 Yards 11.3YPA 8 TD
6107 total yards 7.8 per touch 78 total TD's.
I do agree getting more dynamic players on the field together makes sense.
In space he’s a terror and his speed destroys tackling angles.
Not saying he will be a big time red zone power back but he has legit 3 down power IMO at the NFL level. His burst will get him a lot of early down work between the 20's as he develops.
That info came from a March 9th quote.PFF College

Travis Etienne has 3,087 yards AFTER CONTACT in his career at Clemson.
400 more than any other draft-eligible player.
