We can assume with 1 accrued year he got a bigger bump in 2021.  But I can't find the list.  I don't think $5k per carry is enough.
In 2020 Jonathan Taylor was paid about $8k per carry simply because he was drafted higher.  Ezekiel Elliott got $25k per carry because he was drafted even higher than them.  Those are all rookie contracts.  All three players had between 230 and 250 carries. 
I just don't think draft status should count for that much.  Especially not when it's locked in for 4 years.

Yeah, I never said anything about snap counts, but whatever.

Life is not fair. 

Opportunities are not evenly distributed. 

Best get after the ones that fall in your path. 1st round, 7th round, UDFA , whatever. Nobody is gonna level the playing field or salary distro for you.
