0:00.0 | In this video, we'll be identifying seven running backs who might be a breakout or not this year, |
0:04.2 | and more importantly, should you be targeting them in your fantasy drafts. And we'll start with |
0:07.9 | the same second year running back, Kendrae Miller, who in his rookie year, he had to deal with a lot |
0:12.1 | of hardships, and since then, it's gotten a little bit better. Because first off, this guy is |
0:15.5 | actually healthy as we record this right now. And this has been a big issue for him. You can see right here the draft shark's injury history in 2022 December. The last day he ends up suffering a knee injury, |
0:24.8 | a knee MCL sprain. And what this does basically is keep him out the rest of the year and then he |
0:28.9 | can't take part in the combine and there's a lot of questions floating out about how healthy and |
0:32.6 | athletic is he. All that we got to know about him was that he's 5 foot 11 and 215 pounds. He only weighed in at the |
0:37.7 | combine. There were a lot of questions. Now that's talking from an athletic standpoint. We obviously |
0:41.4 | knew that in college, this guy had a dominant season in 2022 at TCU as their main workhorse running |
0:46.2 | back over 220 carries, 1400 rushing yards. Due factor in him putting up a couple of receiving yards. |
0:50.9 | He had over 1,500 total yards in this year, over 100 yards per game. |
0:54.4 | And we don't know exactly how fast he is based on the 40 time, but if you look at his film, |
0:57.8 | it seems that he has good speed and this guy knows how to break tackles. And then we get to |
1:01.1 | the NFL draft and the Saints take, Kendra Miller right here out of TCU in the third round, |
1:04.5 | which was great news, because there's a lot of questions. People didn't know if he would fall to like the fourth or fifth round. Third round capital is legit. But he did land on a team at the time that had Alvin Kamara and just signed Jamal Williams, a beloved veteran |
1:14.9 | that coaches trust. It didn't seem like the best situation. And then the injuries continue to pile on, |
1:19.5 | as in the beginning of August or middle of August right around the preseason, he gets a knee injury |
1:23.6 | again. And then to start the year, a couple weeks weeks later he ends up having a hamstring injury |
1:28.0 | which may cause him to miss a couple of games during the season none of this is good and then he would |
1:32.4 | later suffer an injury an ankle injury in week 10 that kept him out for like another five to six to |
1:36.9 | seven weeks so some people might think okay the young player he's just injury prone but i don't think |
