I think so, as long he is used correctly.

He has to bring his lunch pail to work and be the first in and last out in training camp.

He's better suited for a slot type role than being an every down back I think. Like you said it all depends on how he's used

I think he'll make a good slot receiver and special teams guy.

Has NE written all over him.

He's prlly the 2nd most athletic back in the draft behind Cook. He reminds me a little of Leveon Bell how he is really patient and waits for a hole to develop then explodes. He's really shifty and moves laterally like Bell as well.

He is a fit guy. Its going to have to be the right fit for him to be successful. I think the same applies for Fournette because he is a classic down hill I formation type type of back. Guice on the other hand I think would fit into almost any system in the NFL.

He should probably go somewhere that has an established running back already. I could see him having success in a place like San Diego,Green Bay or Kansas City.

Fournette needs to go to Carolina. That way this board will be entertaining once again.

If he can grow a gnarly beard, the boy is Foxboro-bound for success in the slot

He'd be an all pro with a team like the Saints, Packers or Patriots

dont see him being big enough to play RB unless he is used for sideline passes to get him in open space. Would be a great PR and KR

Is Reggie Bush still playing? If so, then McCaffrey will have a good career because he is better than Bush. He is a better runner, better vision, better hands, better KR, and won't mess with a Kardashian, so he will be a good NFL player.

If he's played more in an all purpose role then just as a rusher he'll do well.

Maybe like 15 touches a game, with 5-6 as a pass catcher at least.
