Are there any on the current roster? Moulton has come close a few times but at this point in the season it seems he doesnt have it.

I think Williams and McNeil will both be really good…we really need to address the talent drought at WR for many years now….

Moulton was probably a good choice at back in this game. There weren’t exactly gaping holes to be had and he still gets 2-3 yards when there isn’t much to be had.

Moulton and Patterson is what I would have gone with.

The longest run from scrimmage is from Gronowski at like 44 yds. Longest run from scrimmage by a back is 24 yds.

The answer would seem to be "no".
Gronowski’s long is 67. Xavier Williams long is 43. McNeil long is 24. Moulton long is 22.

I have not seen the Iowa back, at least not yet, that can break one on the roster. Hopefully it will change next year.

That’s incredibly poor. Also an indictment against the WR blocking as well.
