lack of versatility in terms of blocking/catching out of the backfield


I don't see this as an issue. It's an issue for LSU's offense obviously because we don't do it. One of the easiest passes that can be made is a dumpoff to the RB. I don't recall us having a bunch of dropped passes on dumpoff's to the RB. What I do recall is our coaching staff being too dumb to use it. Maybe that will get fixed with Cam.

OK, maybe he has decent hands, I seem to remember him dropping a few, maybe I'm wrong or he could obviously improve that.

But... he HAS to be able to pick up blocks in the backfield, which is way harder in the NFL than in College, if he wants to make it.
