    Jones weighed 208 at the combine. But I know he took off weight following his rookie year.

    Packers gave Lloyd, a USC running back, the same number 32 that OJ Simpson wore. I guess that's okay for now.

    Maybe OJ can take over him from the beyond and he will slash defenses.

    Knifing through the secondary.

    Maybe a throat slash gesture when he scores the dagger TD.

    Hopefully his memorabilia will be worth stealing someday.

    Some of what I read suggests 3rd down back which makes sense with Jacobs around. I really did like his pass catching tape. Better than Kamara.

    More than a 3rd down back. In 2021 Dillon had 770 yards rushing to Jones' 1121. I think his role could be more like that.

    He'll get carries no doubt, but I would think a 3-1 split would be likely. High 200's for Jacobs, 100 max for Lloyd. But if he catches 40 passes I'm pretty happy.

    Watched several highlight files on him. One thing that stood out to me was how easily and naturally he caught the ball. Looks very relaxed as a receiver. Some guys look stiff, unnatural adjusting to and catching passes out of the backfield. He looks very fluid.

    As with all rookies, it will be fun seeing how he develops as a pro. Will he live upto expectations, exceed them or fail to meet them.

    I noticed the same. A lot of those highlights were of him 15 or 20 yards down field, not just check downs. They looked like Aaron Jones type routes. Very encouraging.

    But he looked more fluid making the catch than Jones usually did. Like I said, I wasn't crazy about the pick, but I am excited to see him own some LBs trying to cover him beyond 5 yards.
