Thread: "Rolls" Royce Freeman Pick #71 Denver Broncos

I don't think the work load is that much of a concern, he's still pretty fast, running a 4.5 40 at the combine. He can run away from LBs for sure and even some safeties, yet he's 230 and brings impact. the tv announcers said "I've seen some DBs make career decisions about whether to try and tackle him."

I watch Oregon state because I am a a fan... But Oregon is ok n TV more I see more of their games

I think we are going to love him.

Watching him truck people for years.

Faster, bigger than TD was. Game speed is great. He has power too.....can catch.

Love the pick.

The only concern here is the amount of touches he got in college, turns out he might’ve went a little higher in draft than he would have if he came out last year.

He doesn’t tap out every 3 touches either.

I guess I'm a lot less excited about this pick than others seem to be.

Funny how things work. Because if you'd come out after that ridiculous season he had his sophomore year he probably have been a first-rounder

He was a more explosive RB then, no doubt, that’s why ... if I’m a highly recruited 5-Star RB ... I’d wanna redshirt my Frosh season.

4.5 at 230 is explosive.

Well, C.J. broke a few, and Freeman is faster than C.J.

He was next level back then. 1800 yards as a sophomore in the Pac12.

Had he been able to come out after true sophomore season he would’ve been 2nd RB taken. This is not to say that Freeman is a broke-dick-dog now, though.
