After casting aside some names that neither failed nor statistically stunned as rookies, I was left with these three mediocre myrtles. Their stories literally bleed with unfulfilled potential. Like the rookie stunner series, the players contained within w...
In Chapter Two (Mythologies of this Size), I called Doug Martin an ”outlier to my wheelhouse size.” He literally checks all the boxes of what a successful NFL running back should be, according to size research. Yet, his durability does not match my ca...
This is a real article. I do realize the name Trent Richardson is a punchline nowadays. Before he was missing wide open holes, he had potential. His rookie season wasn’t the best. However, what fosters can also cultivate for fertile growth. No one c...

This is the second volume of my Rookie Stunner series. In volume one, I touched on Brown’s college teammate Cadillac Williams. Brown was the higher pick, and he was better pro despite getting out-touched and outgained by Williams as a rookie. Ronnie Bro...
In the last two chapters of this series, I touched on some current running backs as well as some who had a high draft pedigree. All the RBs I talked about in those chapters “Failed” as rookies. In this Rookie Stunner series, I am taking a brief look a...
In the fifth chapter of this RB Theorem series, I looked at the recent rookie failures of Kenyan Drake and Melvin Gordon. In doing so, I hoped to find a proper gauge on their Fantasy value moving forward. With this chapter, I set out to find slightly olde...
We all love investing in youth. No matter what position, youth combined with seemingly limitless potential is a beautiful thing to own. The Running back position is very different. Breakout age and production windows are often quicker than fast. As I poin...
