Misdirected hate, to be sure.I don't really take metrics seriously but during the second half of the season his metrics were near the best in the NFL at RB. I think Dowdle gets more hate on here than he probably deserves. But I also think the stats or metrics give him more love than he deserves. He is a solid capable RB. Something that there are a lot of in the NFL if you actually look or try to look. But he isn't talented enough to bank on that production to repeat itself over a full season next year. And there are enough RB's in this draft class that give you more than Dowdle that it would be absolutely silly to not draft one.
Rico could not ever give us the explosive plays, but he helped us grind enough to defeat inferior competition. I’d say he definitely deserves a spot in next year’s RB room.
And man I would love to see Hunter Leupke step up in 2025.
