Outside of like two games he’s never had an issue holding onto the ball. That was some false narrative the Rant built.
He had 4 fumbles last season on just 76 carries. Cain, Williams, Goodwin, combined, had 1. To put it in further perspective, he was T-2 in the nation for most fumbles by a RB.
His inability to hold on to the ball in the 2019 camp was the reason he slid all the way down to 4th on the depth chart...despite being arguable the most physically gifted RB on the roster. It's not just a "false narrative"

and he went on to fumble the ball only twice in his Freshman and Sophomore seasons.
He has six career fumbles, and has lost four of those six. Six fumbles in 213 career touches. Two of those six fumbles came in a span of nine touches in one game. So four fumbles in his other 204 career touches, or one fumble every 51 touches. I'm not going to sit here and say that's a fantastic number, but the fumbling is not as big of an issue as this board makes it out to be. There were people proclaiming he should be benched and never get a snap again after UAB. It's a classic Rant overreaction.
