YoloinOhio Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-draft-2022-why-virginia-techs-raheem-blackshear-hopes-to-follow-in-deebo-samuels-all-pro-footsteps/ this was from before the draft: Quote Blackshear recently met with Buffalo Bills running backs coach Kelly Skipper, and the experience stood out from his other meetings because of Skipper’s probing questions. “He was picking my brain pretty well,” Blackshear said. “He put me through a lot of tests and stuff like that … made me look at different formations. I like to be challenged, and he was challenging me, and I really appreciate everything he did for me.” Edited May 4, 2022 by YoloinOhio 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEBills Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I hope he is second Deebo! Realistically, he is slap fighting Taiwan Jones for a roster spot 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I like it - if you're an UDFA, you have nothing to lose, and need to try to distinguish yourself from the crowd. Naturally, he only makes this or any team if his play warrants it, but nothing wrong with getting a little hype going for yourself. I might try that at work. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I'm struggling to understand how an undrafted running back is comparing himself to a WR who was picked in the 2nd round. Maybe he'd have been better off comparing himself to someone like ... oh, I don't ***** know ... Fred Jackson?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he was going to compare his skillset to practice squad RBs but for some reason thought that saying that while trying to get drafted was a dumb idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 It's interesting to me how Samuel has defined a whole new type of player. I suppose Corredelle Patterson is also that type of guy. A strong, versatile WR who excels in RAC and is effective lining up in the backfield. Kind of a hybrid WR/RB. I think the Bills see Cook in that mold. It will be interesting to see if Blackshear is able to demonstrate that skillset sufficiently to earn a roster spot. My guess is PS for him. He was a good college player and very productive in a good conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted May 4, 2022 Author Share Posted May 4, 2022 Sounds like he could be a backup to James Cook so hopefully he can be signed to the PS, doubt he makes the 53 barring injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In another thread, someone compared the 6th round Punter to Josh Allen so......why not? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
