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.
His biological father went to jail for 14 years for cocaine possession. He had another guy come into his life and raised him properly. He honors both of his fathers last names with Edwards-Helaire [Reply]
Honestly if he turns into Priest Holmes this offense is truly unstoppable. It’s another piece for Andy to play with. We’re about to see some crazy play calling. [Reply]
Here's what new Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire had to say at the NFL Combine about the prospect of playing for the Chiefs and with Patrick Mahomes: pic.twitter.com/4JDdIIuYvm
Good
Perfect fit for our offense and Andy Reid
Great hands ... Great
Very good route runner
Powerful legs
Think Darren Sproles
Not so good
Swift was still there
Defenders that fit needs were still there
A RB in the 1st round
Not a polished traditional runner
Not a polished blocker
overall
Great at doing what Andy will ask him to do even though taking a RB in the 1st round usually isn't a good idea. #32 is almost the 2nd round though. The main issue is teaching him how to pass block. He is short but very stout so he should be able to.
This isn't the luxury pick that the t.v. guys keep saying. We have legitimate needs on defense. Fills the main need we had on offense.
Brett convinced Andy that we should draft this guy. Brett said he’s like Brian Westbrook. He also nailed exactly how many OL and QBs were taken in this round. Dude is such a stud
