    This kid is a stud. Can't believe he was missed in the draft. Great vision, balance, burst and almost always makes the first guy miss if he has any room. Then he is powerful for his size and can drag guys a few extra yards. Watch his college highlights and you see what we have been seeing in the pre-season. The kid is a keeper and might be better than Evans.

    He did look great. I’m taking that performance with a grain of salt though.
    It seems like most RBs that have gotten a shot for us lately have looked good.
    McNichols, for example, looked like a stud when given opportunity last year.

    And I get that analytics are not everything… but his athletic measurables are pretty underwhelming. 8CEE4A88-FA47-4043-BF5E-EEA1424BED74.jpeg

    McNichols is OK but Sargent almost makes it look effortless at finding the crease and running through tackles. He is the kind of RB that really makes the OL look good because he doesn't need much room and is precise in his decisions. The way he kept his legs moving for extra yardage was really impressive. Almost reminded me of Emmitt Smith the way he found the hole and scooted through. If there were arms in his way they didn't even slow him down.

    And he is staying on the field not the training room!

    He's broke a lot of tackles this preseason so far to.

    I hope we get to see him against some defenders that will be on an NFL roster next week. He could end up being the next James Robinson, but I’m not ready to say he’s more than a flash in the pan yet.

    But on the flipside, what has Evans really shown us? With as much field time as he has actually had, he's pretty much just a flash in the pan as well.

    True. And he hasn’t even really flashed. I’m ready to move on from Evans. This offense has never really supported the scat back type (dion lewis, darrynton evans), but the big bruisers seem to do well consistently.
