| 0:00.0 | How good are the NFL draft running back prospects? Let's find out with Emery Hunt right now on Fantasy |
| 0:04.5 | Football today in five. And welcome everybody. Adam Azor joined, of course, by Emery Hunt. He's going to be |
| 0:10.2 | giving us NFL draft advice throughout the coming weeks. And today we talk about for most people, |
| 0:14.9 | the top two running backs, Travis Eton and Najee Harris, but actually not for Emery. He has Travis Eton as his number three running back. We're not going to tell you who number two is. You'll have to tune in tomorrow to find out. But, Emery, let's talk about these two. Well, first of all, that is breaking news. The Travis E.T.N. is not one of your top two. How come? Well, I look at things a bit differently from that position. |
| 0:38.0 | And I think when you look at Etienne, one thing that he does really well, he's explosive, |
| 0:42.5 | he's dynamic, but I don't think he evades defenders as often as you would like someone to do. |
| 0:48.9 | Because again, at the NFL level, every hit is pretty much a hard hit. |
| 0:53.2 | So you can't keep running through guys like you did |
| 0:55.3 | at college. There's no 18 and 19 year olds at the next level. And, you know, if he can run past him, |
| 1:00.0 | great. But I think he has to be a little bit more elusive. Add that to his game if he wants to |
| 1:04.5 | survive and be long term. Okay. So let's let's get a scouting report on Najee Harris, who's number |
| 1:10.6 | one for you. |
| 1:12.4 | And both ETIN and Harris played four seasons, which is pretty cool. |
| 1:16.2 | Don't always see that from running backs. |
| 1:17.9 | Give me your scouting report on Najee Harris, who, depending on where you look, 6-2-230 pounds. |
| 1:23.2 | He's legit, man. |
| 1:24.3 | And I've gone through the whole gambit. |
| 1:25.9 | You talk about someone that could be compared to Stephen Jackson, Matt Forte, Duce McAllister, someone like you see all across the board that can do a lot of things. He could play well on both ends of offense, run the ball as a receiver, not just your standard running back routes, but I'm talking about downfield in the passing game. That's what he brings to the table. And his vision is where it needs to be. So he can work front |
| 1:48.3 | side to the backside and really gain yards with his eyes and his feet definitely will follow. |
| 1:53.9 | And how about ETN? Give me a scouting report there. I know you talked about maybe one of his |
| 1:58.0 | weaknesses, but what do you like about him? Just sheer explosiveness. |
| 2:01.7 | You could always sell me on guys that can take it to the house on any given carry. |
