Quote:"Foreman announced last month that he intends to enter the draft as an underclassman. The quote from the scouting director came before I finished by draft profile for Foremen. I was interested in checking out his pass protection, as I already have my opinions on him as a runner (mostly positive). Sure enough, the tape showed a lack of aggression in his approach as a blocker and he rarely seemed to look for work when no blitzers were in sight.


While I think he has the ability to catch the football, he wasn't very productive as a pass-catcher at Texas and if teams don't trust him to handle protection duties, then his stock could suffer, especially in potentially running back-rich draft." Lance Zierlein

 

 

Again, that's one guys opinion. I have mine, you have yours, other people have theirs. Just because one guy says it, doesn't make it so. I know he wasn't productive as a pass catcher in college, because he was rarely targeted. If given the chance, I believe he could be fine. What I look for is a guy who can carry this team on his back as an every down runner like Adrian Peterson or Ezekiel Elliott. I see that kind of runner in Foreman. That's 95% of what I'm looking for in a RB.
