Do we really need a power back?
I can’t count how many times I’ve seen Singletary drag 4-5 defenders on his back for an extra 4 or 5 yards. I think Singletary is a tougher runner than we think. I have no reservations whatsoever about plugging him in on the goal line. I’m not against drafting a power back but I don’t view Singletary as strictly a scat back or finesse back, he’s pretty strong. I think Singletary can get you the tough yards.
Devin ran a 4.66; that’s the opposite of a speed back.
He averaged a solid 2.4 YPC post-contact, which ranked 13th among RBs.
He also averaged a broken tackle every 7.6 rushing attempts; good for 5th in the league.
He’s a banger with some elusiveness and great instincts; we need a home run threat to complement him.
