All signs point to him being the man and getting 15+ carries a game. Has shown flashes but overall hasn't put it all together yet... or just hasn't been available. Not totally sold on him as a pass catcher, but he's serviceable there. If he stays on the field, I could see him going for 1100+ yards. Maybe get close to 10 TDs. Looking forward to see if he takes that step forward.

Emery will be big time this year. Cain will as well. I think the RB room is going to be extremely solid. Emery will rush for 1,000 and Cain will bounce back from his injury.

Honestly it depends on the O line but I think he can be a stud. Maybe not all-SEC but he has the skill set to do it.

That he puts it all together and shows why he was a 5*

He has all the tools.

An offense that is designed to the players strengths is going to get Emory going.

The talent is there for him to be a 1,000 plus yard rusher. He just has to put it all together.

I'm one of those who believe that LSU's offensive line will be very significantly improved in 2022 and the deepest it has been in over ten years.

I also believe that Garrett Nussmeier will be named the starter at QB because by all accounts he not only threw far less picks in the 15 spring practices relative to the other two QBs, but he is the only QB on the team with the elite arm talent necessary to get the ball to LSU's lethal weapons out in space reliably, and he is also very excellent at extending plays. As he doesn't take off running like Jayden Daniels automatically does and he doesn't freeze and panic under pressure like Myles Brennan always does. Instead, he scrambles out of trouble while always keeping his eyes down field and then tries to complete passes or otherwise throw the ball away if he has to.

Moreover, I've heard BJ Ojulari claim in interviews that he believes John Emery will be LSU's best player on offense in 2022. While I also heard Mike Jones, Jr say in interviews that he has played against a lot of great running backs in his career, but that he has never played against a running back nearly as good as John Emery.

So my optimism is very high that John Emery will be a major cog in LSU's balanced offensive attack in 2022 and for which I have high hopes.

Emery has always had the talent. He needs to stay healthy and put in the work. Hoping he can improve his ability to pick up the blitz. Running the ball is natural for him. He has to learn the intricacies of being a complete running back.

Based on everything we're hearing, he's putting in the work. Hope it clicks.

I'm expected 1200+ rush yards 200+ receiving and 15 total TDs. I'm expecting him to get the ball a lot and with his speed, make some big plays.

If he's the starter, he will get over 1k yds.

Brossette got 1k and 14 TDs. Davis Price got 1k and 6 tds.
