Great pickup for you guys.

In my opinion he is the best back in the class and it isn't close.

Remember the long run Clyde Edwards-Helaire broke against UGA where he got run down short of the goal line?

That play pretty much sums up our running backs this year. Capable but not elite. We've lacked the home run hitters of years past (Hill, Fournette, Guice). Emery should see a ton of playing time next year based on potential alone.

I'm not thrilled with what the "new" offense has turned into under Ensminger but the reality is it's very run heavy so we need an elite back to carry that load.
