Obviously some of these other backs have better hands on the outside, but LF has had a few double catches today. Not a huge deal but that's what makes you a 3 down back in the NFL. Regardless, good day for the man, just doesn't look natural catching the ball out of the backfield.

He has good hands.

We can barely pass to 5 star recovers how often is he supposed to make one handed snags?

I'm just saying it's something he'll need to work on, because you're right he didn't have a ton of touches in college.

Go and look at some of his highlights on youtube with passes from both Jennings and Harris threw to him....... He has great hands.

I think LF showed he has good hands. We didn't use him a lot for that, but what I saw looked good.

I happen to think he's over rated as an NFL prospect.......but his hands are actually something I think is underrated

his hands are good enough. plus I bet a team that drafts him wont be west coast style it will be a pro or ace set team that like to run and utilize play action.

Please ....just look at actual game film....
Very few passes, but showed soft hands even in traffic....
Outran DB's that had angles on him!
He is an incredible RB and an incredible athelete.....
It is right in front of everyone's eyes that cares to see!
I just hope he goes to a team with a decent QB and a good OL....

that drill gives many RB's fits. It's geared more toward WR. Obviously if you look good that is a plus. But like the GIF's above, ive never seen him have trouble catching the ball in HS or at LSU. He is a pretty natural pass catcher.
