During this years voyage of evaluating draft prospects, I was not impressed by any RB, Everyone I evaluated I felt where JAGS, including Wright. In my notes: Long Strider Fights the ball as a pass catcher Played in 10 personal shotgun basically his whole career in Tennessee. I HATE 10 Personal (5 linemen, 4 Receivers, 1 RB, 1 QB) I thought to myself, "of-course he leads the NCAA in yards per attempt, he is running behind empty boxes ALL THE TIME." I will admit that I am jaded by my love for Achane, but Wright IS NOT Achane! That being said, Achane couldn't be the primary back in a 10 personal offense. That is the variable I ignorantly combed over. . Although I stand by my evaluation of his inert ability as a pure runner, I have come to realize that to run 10 personal as your primary offense the HB must be able to BLOCK!! Jaylen Wright is an exceptional blocker, best blocking HB I have seen in A LONG TIME. Wright was benefitting from what I call the 'Gronk Equation...
