Look no further than signing Josh Norman and now this.  And even though I know this is how he works, even I am surprised by this one. The RB position is probably the easiest position to transition. And the skill and athletic ability between Leonard Fournette and Ty Johnson is a large one.  To say we were only interested in Leonard Fournette because we thought we were going to lose Ty Johnson, but now that we're not - we prefer Ty is nuts to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fournette seemed like a seamless fill in for Harris in the Power Back role. Johnson is a drop off there.  He's more of a younger, faster version of a Murray style back. Well rounded, but not the short yardage back of a Fournette or Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect anyone will believe in him or trust him until he does it consistently though. I'm sure the doubt is justified based on that so I totally get this.  Fournette has done it before, so he's a name folks know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayjent Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 LaMical Perine on the Chiefs PS is a good player that is powerful enough, has good vision between the tackles and is a receiving threat.  Actually a really good receiver that knows how to set up his blocks on screens.  I was actually surprised to see him not on an active roster.  I’d take Perine over Ty Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
