Reading about and watching highlights now. The only real knock on him is his speed......and it’s not like he’s running a 4.8/40. Loves lowering the shoulder and getting them extra yards. Great pick for depth.

It's funny they replaced AB & Bell with players who both fit the same size/speed profiles. I remember some say Bell was too slow to play RB in the NFL, they he'd be moved to FB.
 
I can't wait to see what he can do. I hope they use him properly.
 
He's an EZ magnet, that's for sure (48 TDs in college).
 
**** to the yeah.....
 
You can stick him in the redzone, short yardage situations, and I think he will prove to be a capable blocker who won't get your QB killed.

Three years of high TD production, who doesn't lose the rock.

I liked this guy for a while now. Yes!

What you Snell is a back that can split carries with JaySam when Conner gets nicked up for a few games.

You loved when your TE ran over someone? Wait till you get a load of Snell.
 
His great uncle caused many tears to fall in Baltimore. Let's hope Benny does the same.

His great uncle was Ray Snell of Super Bowl III fame? I watched him in the Citrus Bowl and he was a beast. Great pick up.
 
I got a text from somebody in Arkansas that said GREAT pick!

So WHOOOO ******* Hoooo!!
 
Great draft pick. He should be a monster behind our OL. He isn't like Bell when it comes to hitting the line. He is not fast by any stretch. He is a pure power runner. But he has some moves and he is shifty. He also reads his blocks extremely well. He isn't going to out run anyone but he will over power smaller DBs and even most ILBs. He is very hard to tackle. Great pick.

If he had 1 extra gear he'd be fighting Conner for the #1 spot. Of course he would have gone higher in the draft as well.
 
When he starts running over players some peeps views will change.

When that day happens for you here is a song you can play to stay in theme.
