Are you ready? Let's discuss these rookies who are gaining a ton of hype but have major concerns for

0:05.6

2023. Don't be afraid to pass on these players in drafts because although they're becoming household

0:10.5

names, there's a real chance for disappointment. Your friends think these guys are great and they're

0:14.9

going to overpay for them, but you'll be getting the last laugh. For example, the running back

0:19.3

prospect Jamir Gibbs out of Alabama,

0:21.6

look, he's electric. Last year at Alabama in 2022, when you combined his rushing yards over

0:26.0

900, his receiving yards over 400, he put up nearly 1,400 yards and a very strong 44

0:32.1

receptions. And it wasn't just the fact that he played for Alabama, a great offense and

0:36.8

offensive line and team in general.

0:38.4

No, the year before in 2021, he was actually at Georgia Tech where he puts up between his rushing yards over 700 and receiving yards over 400, again, 300 plus yards and 36 receptions.

0:48.8

So this is all great and it doesn't even stop here because as you can see from the player profile or workout metrics, he is quick, very quick, a 4-3640 time that is top 1% 99th percentile of all time. And he's easily

1:01.6

the best pass-catching running back in this class and he's already going to be probably immediately

1:05.5

a top 5 to 10 pass-catching running back in the NFL. In his three-year college career, he averaged

1:10.7

nearly 15% of his team's targets. That is top 3% of the team's targets. past catching running back in the NFL. In his three-year college career, he averaged nearly

1:11.0

15% of his team's targets. That is top 3% of all time for a running back. But this is where

1:16.9

his major concern comes into play. Look, he's 199 pounds, which is 15 pounds smaller than the

1:23.0

average top 24 fantasy running back. And this starts to put him at a disadvantage in the NFL for fantasy

1:28.5

purposes. Real life could be a great running back, but for fantasy purposes at commanding a larger workload.

1:33.2

Look, many people have compared him to Alvin Kamara, but this just isn't accurate because Gibbs

1:37.9

was 199 pounds. And Kamara, as you can see right here in player profiler, 214 pounds. 15 pounds

1:43.4

heavier than Gibbs. It's a

1:44.6

totally different ballpark. And here are some of the other common comps that we're seeing.
