Quote:Yeldon is the best pass blocking RB on this roster, by a far margin. He's also by far the best pass catching RB on this roster.


He lacks the break away speed everybody wants as a #1 RB, but he has everything else.


He'll never be a star RB, but he's every bit of a long term solid RB. His biggest knock was his fumbles and that hasn't been an issue at the NFL level.


He has solid vision and solid shiftyness. Give him a good run blocking game and he'll be just fine.


And I'm not saying that we can't add another RB, I'm just saying, Yeldon isn't the issue. He's going to be a solid RB in this league for a long time. Not an elite RB, but he's easily a solid RB in this league.

He has everything but break away speed, Yeldon is a smooth back that routinely makes guys miss in small spaces, he has rare lateral agility for a man his size. Like you mentioned, he's solid in pass pro, and catches the ball well out of the backfield. Yeldon is a good player who will benefit immensely from an upgrade at both guard positions. My prediction is Yeldon will breakout in 2017 the sane way Marqise broke out this year.
