Summary
We get a standout rookie RB basically every season, but is 2021 setting up to be an exception? We break down the rookies and the veterans on today's show beginning with our news and notes (5:45) as we look at the Patriots backfield, the Eagles backfield and what Kenneth Gainwell's role will be, the Aaron Rodgers situation (12:30) and more ... Kicking off our rankings disputes with Miles Sanders vs. Antonio Gibson (18:00). Then we get into Najee Harris (22:00) as Adam tries to make the case for Harris as a first round pick. And while we're high on Harris, we're obviously not quite as high on Travis Etienne (29:05) ... Myles Gaskin vs. Mike Davis (35:25), James Conner vs. Chase Edmonds (42:00), Javonte Williams vs. Melvin Gordon (50:00), plus our thoughts on the 49ers (56:50) and Jets (1:00:50) backfields ...
