5.1 YPC, 2 TDs

Seems like he takes a while to get going, as you'd expect with a guy his size I guess. Definitely hard to tackle.

He good in the open field but takes a while to hit the hole in the inside stuff.

I much prefer to see Yeldon running between the tackles. He is so elusive.

To me his running style is like a 200 pound back with slashing cuts and jukes instead of a 250 pound bruiser that defenders hate to tackle. Just my opinion.

he lacks vision and runs up the backs of his blockers. However I love watching him run the ball and I think all of these things are very fixable.

Hate watching him try and take the ball outside when he's as big as he is.

Get between dem tackles, baw!

I think he needs to plant and go a little more. This OL isn't opening gaping holes.

And as a few others have said id like to see him get it in space somehow.

He has been very meh. He needs to run harder and hit holes faster.

Love when he gets to open space. Getting him to open space hasn't been so pretty.
