Mitchell is the most complete back we have had here in a long long time

Yes, stretching all the way back to 2016.

Yep

Yeah, somehow forgot about EM. I'd put these guys next to each other. Awesome to watch except I don't think that Napier is going to pound Mitchell up the Guard's ___ all game like Hud did to EM thankfully.

I’d still put Mitchell over McGuire. Mitchell can do it all, run inside, outside and catch the ball extremely well.

Agreed, plus size.

Mitchell is a more complete back than Eli...

McGuire needed space to be dangerous Mitchell can do it between the tackles in the flats or in the screen game

I agree but we often feel that EM was not as good inside because his YPC were much less in his last couple years but I just think the run blocking was not effective nor was the scheme. I do think he was better in open space but he got a bad wrap in that regard due to poor blocking and scheme.

Elijah McGuire is the most talented RB we’ve ever had at this University. End of discussion.

I love watching Mitchell and Ragas and they are both studs.

[MetryCajun]

Mitchell and Ragas still have time to build their resume. We have had some good backs the past 30 years. I would put EM first Both of the current guys could eclipse him before they leave.

You are correct my friend.
