Hmmm good point and its true teams value running backs that are versatile or multi-faceted but The Green Bay Packers drafted a guy by the name of AJ Dillion who may have been more productive than Gus Edwards in college but wasnt really considered a multi-facted type running back and I believe he was drafted in the second round this year. Maybe Gus Edwards gets like 2 or 3 carries with other teams but dont forget there were teams like The Patriots, Lions, and Eagles giving a guy like Legarrette Blunt more carries than that per game and I dont think he was a multi-faceted running back.
Overall I dont think Gus Edwards is some elite running back but I wouldn't rule it out that he could possibly be traded. A team like The Falcons may be interested but we shall see.

Does anyone have any predictions for someone who's going to end up playing better than we expect? How about worse? All indications should be that Jufon has a better year than last. I'm just not sure I see it happening. I expect a similar year. I also think there's a chance Ben powers plays really well

My hunches are Bozeman and Malik
Harrison
better than expected: Miles Boykins
worse than expected: Orlando Brown (don't think he'll be bad but he's the leader on the right side of the OL now with Yanda gone and i think that transition is going to be really tough)
better than expected (hope): Jaylon Ferguson (would be massive if he could make a leap)
my hunch is Proche or Washington from the draft class and Boykin from last seasons class.

Anyone hoping out hope for Tyus Bowser like I am? He was raw coming out.. hopefully he takes a big jump.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all, he seemed like he may have been casually turning a corner last year, low snap count but he made a number of plays and I can’t remember a bowser play from 2019 where he stood out in a bad way, he just seemed more competent last year, he’s the type that if he does turn the corner you’re gonna get a pretty damn good player.
all that said, I feel like it’s more realistic to expect more of the same
I think marcus peters and our oline wont look good as good

My candidate is @JoeyFlex5 's guy: Jaylon Ferguson.

I have a dark horse to take the league by storm this year. Pernell McPhee will be a monster opposite Judon with limited snaps.

I think Judon has reached his potential. I think Ingram has a down year because of his age and downgrade in blocking and Gus becomes the #1. I can also see Lamar having a sophomore slump because of how high he set the bar last year and the delayed start to offseason training.

buuuut lamar is a junior
Also, I think if any RB takes the lead role away from ingram, it’s gonna be Dobbins. Gus is just a short yardage, up the middle, dive RB. Dobbins offers much more versatility.
Idk that he takes a big leap but he’s already carved out a role on this defence and that’s not going to change
