Just a guess, but from what I've observed, Nate has a mental fixation where he measures a successful run according to the plus yardage he get after the first hit…..I believe he would run through a brick wall to get a first down or score.
Since we always share the load in the RB room, I don't know if Nate can break the 1,000 yard mark this season. Ahmad Hardy, Greg's Top RB in his list, racked up 1,647 yards last season. But, he did most of the work in the Missouri backfield. Plus he got shot earlier this year in his leg. Hopefully, he can recover fully and be just as good.
Nate is an above average RB, and he has earned his playing time. He is no Nick Chubb, Todd Gurley, or D'Andre Swift, but he is a focused and great addition to the RB room.
My concerns with Nate are as follows:
- Fumbling
- He has an injured ankle from last season that he has tweaked twice at least during the Spring. For RBs, those kind of weak links are tough to come back from at 100% unless he gives it sufficient time to heal properly/rehab and doesn't keep re-injuring it. Every time you tweak it, it just gets weaker. Just being honest.

I think he’s a guy you gotta stay with when he’s hot. He’s tough & competitive enough for sure. No mention of Bo Walker, did I miss something?
