How do we evaluate Travis ETIN?

Will his college skills translate to the next level?

Let's find out with Jacob Gibbs right now on Fantasy Football Today in five.

ETN, first round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who had a top 10 fantasy running back last

year in James Robinson, and it's not like Robinson's always going to move his second second season, but they obviously believe in Travis ETN. So first things first, how good is Travis ETN, Jacob? And Jacob, by the way, is from Sportsline.com. Please follow all of his work there. But how good is he? What do the advanced metrics tell us? I think they tell us that he's really good. I mean, I think they tell us what anyone who watches ETN sees is that he's an electric playmaker. He's really unique in his ability to break tackles and create yards after contact, which is exciting. It makes sense. That's why Jacksonville drafted him so high because I think James Robinson, for all the good things he did, did struggle a little bit to break tackles last year.

He was just around league average, whereas ETN is far above that.

And typically, creating yards after contact does translate well at the NFL level.

So over the past three season, ETAN ranks first among 200 qualified backs,

with an average of 4.5 yards after contact per attempt.

So first out of 200 backs during that time. And he avoided 38% of tackle attempts during that time,

which was 6th out of 200. And then last year, that came down a little bit. But in 2019,

he avoided 50% of tackle attempts against them, which is just silly.

Yeah, that's very impressive. And we know he's explosive. We know he can finish, you know, with big plays, big runs, but his role in the passing game is going to be under the microscope here. So how good is he in that aspect? Yeah, for like, as good as he is the rushher, he's even more exciting as a past catcher.

And I think his, you know, his ability to make people miss in space is just something that really enables him to pile up yards after the catch as a receiving option.

So during his four years at Clemson, there were only nine running backs who had over 450 yards after the catch in a single season.

He was the only one to do it twice.

In 2020, he averaged 13.5 yards after the catch in a single season. He was the only one to do it twice. In 2020,

he averaged 13.5 yards after the catch, 13.5 yards after the catch per reception.

It's hard to even believe that. The next closest mark among qualified receivers is Sequin Barkley, who averaged 11.5. He was at 13.5. Wow. It's just nuts. And so, like, it's not like he's benefiting. I mean, I'm sure he does benefit from playing with Trevor Lawrence, but he's one who's making all of these yards after the catch. He's the one who's making things happen. And it's reflecting his yards per outrun, which have been, you know, top 10 in each of those years. And then also his

targets per out run. He's been able to, you know, demand targets when he's on the field, which is

really important. He was fourth among qualified backs in 2020 and targets per out run. So everything

in terms of drawing targets, securing targets, making people miss up and the catch, everything
