When I watched Travis Etienne at Clemson I always thought, man that is just unfair.  His acceleration, the 5 and 10 yard speed, was incredible.  I think he might have been overshadowed a bit by Trevor Lawrence.  But every time I saw him I thought, man this just isn't fair to line him up against these college kids.  He belongs in the NFL.

I thought he was a great pick at the end of the first round and I continue to think so.

I have said he reminded me of Tavian Banks in terms of his acceleration, speed, and big play ability.

If he can stay healthy, Pederson is a coach that can utilize a guy like that and get the most out of him.  Go back to how Andy Reid used Brian Westbrook.  I could see Etienne being used similarly.

Loved Tavian Banks out of Michigan State!
So angry about the cheap shot that ended his career; totally unnecessary hit as he was going out of bounds.

TB was a good 3rd down option.  Nowhere close to Etienne talent-wise.  TE should become an elite RB/WR as he settles in.

Props for recognizing Tavian Banks.  What could have been.....
