A poor man’s LeSean McCoy, maybe. But so what if he isn’t a feature back.

Rams have been married to the one-back system for far too long.

As a UC alum and fan, I saw every game he has played. He is a great competitor with above average speed and ability, but I just don’t see him as a workhorse. I enjoyed watching him play and he tore up some college defenses while he was here. He will need to add some weight, speed, strength, and toughness to be a feature back. I saw him as a third down back, but since no NFL franchises have called and asked for my opinion I guess I will just enjoy fantasy football.

On that note, I guess he will get a shot at some point in the season since Jackson will get hurt. Handcuff.

Feature backs still exist in the NFL?

How is this news? If you are drafting a RB in the 2nd round when you have other major needs, isn’t this already implied?!

Kids a stud, very nimble w/ great agility.

I can see if he adds a little bit of weight to that frame he could be a feature back

I watched him play in the Senior Bowl. He was impressive and showed great quickness but I cannot see him as a feature back. He could return kicks, get some spot carries in a game, and catch out of the backfield. Now is not the time for STL to take Jackson for granted when they have nothing else on offense besides WRs from Wake Forest and App. State.

Sorry, don’t see why they took this guy at this point in the draft. They had bigger needs. Doesn’t matter how many draft picks you have, if you don’t know how to use them then it doesn’t mean anything.

Isaiah Pead? A name every person with a third grade love of toilet humor could appreciate. I suppose it’s better than Isaiah Pooped.

Don’t compare Pead and Chris Johnson. Chris Johnson is way faster.
