Some fun here. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 1,415 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior .. all-purpose yards -- receiving (55 receptions, 453 yards) and kick returner (KEY) 10 returns, 214 yards pic.twitter.com/3Duq1jjy6J
Holy offense Bat Man. I love Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is best Rb in the draft. Watkins and Hill deep. Kelce in the middle. And Edwards-Helaire underneath. Good Luck defenses.
Brett Veach told Andy Reid to watch some Clyde Edwards-Helaire film and told Reid you’ll see Brian Westbrook. Reid watched. Then got back to Veach and said he’s better than Westbrook.

He had 26 carries for 161 yards in the only game I've seen them actually lean on him.
I hate the pick not the player. Just don't see what made them think a 5'7 207 guy who isn't THAT fast could be a bell cow back. [Reply]
CEH took an obvious step back last year. His first year was good. I'm not sure what to expect this year but I really like Ronald Jones and the Rutgers kid. [Reply]
I said this when we drafted him, but I actually PREFER my RBs to be under 6'0
I know 5'7 is a far cry from 6'0 but I hate watching tall RBs run so upright. It's so ineffective. I know many of them figure out how to run with a lower center of gravity, but it's certainly a lot tougher to do.
Would rather have a bowling ball than a bowling pin. [Reply]

I don't watch college, so I knew nothing about him until after KC picked him.
But watching a few highlights, it sure seemed like he ought to be a nightmare catching balls out in the flats and punishing teams for the two deep coverage.
Still don't quite understand why that wasn't the case. [Reply]

Most good receiving backs are small.
What has limited CEH in the passing game is his pass blocking and their refusal to use him much on long downs because of it.
Signing RoJo tells me they’re planning to use CEH more in the passing game this year though.
How much pass blocking upside does a 5'7 player have in the NFL? Either keep a TE in to block and/or you put more quick passes in the gameplan for him. JUST DO IT.
I personally think CEH was made to wreck light boxes and also be a weapon out of the backfield in heavy personnel.......that's the way I use him on Madden anyway [Reply]

Have you watched the games? Cause all I see is him running through wide open holes or run into the backs of his lineman. All he had to do was cut left and or right and there was a wide open hole. [Reply]
My wish is he looks like a different back this season, but I won't get my hopes up. If he doesn't come out the hair on fire I hope the hell they don't keep giving him snaps over the better back. [Reply]
