I wonder if it has to do with their body types compared to Trent/Mark. Yeldon and Drake both have an almost WR "All purpose back" type body. Both are kinda lanky for a RB with longer arms.
With Drake I think his running style contributes to his ball security issue. He relies a lot on exceptional burst through the hole. You get more burst pumping both arms hard than you do one. Pumping both arms while going across the LOS = increased chance of fumble.

Yeldon loves his stiff arm a little too much some times.
Some of the fumbles have come from reaching out for the goal line and that is definitely fixable.
What is crazy is I feel like we lose every fumble. MSU fumbled the ball a few times last night and seemed to fall on every one of them.

With TJ I think it is because he tries too hard to get extra yardage. TR and Lacy could move piles at will, TJ can sometimes, but most of his power is just popping people. He tries to stay up and keep getting yardage, and loses his control of the ball.
