Continues to keep Mack fresh. Mack can do some incredible things but it seems like DJ strikes a little more fear into opposing defenses with his tenacious running style.

DJ has better hands. Both awesome. this...and DJ runs back punts/kick offs. DJ is more versatile, and he also showed some ankle breaking cuts. They are our best 1-2 punch ever, and I believe both are back for 2017. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet a lot of coaches look back at that class and think about what could have been. They are both great backs and we needed both of them both to get to where we are now. I think both will go pro, but DJ may end up playing at a couple of spots before they figure out how to best use him at that level. It will be nice to have more Bulls in he NFL!

Mack can do some incredible things but it seems like DJ strikes a little more fear into opposing defenses with his tenacious running style. was wondering is Mack was dinged up, or if CWT just wanted to get DJ more reps. Hopefully the latter. I've also noticed Mack seems much stronger this year. Last year, some arms tackles took him down. This year, including his 85 yard run, he's able to push thru those tackle attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel Mack is quicker and more agile, while DJ is more of a power, up the middle type of back. DJ is also a much better all around player, IMHO. DJ is a better blocker. Someone mentioned it above, and I completely agree that DJ is more of a NFL RB than Mack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. He seems to run with the ball too exposed but I can't remember him ever fumbling, so maybe it's no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack's style reminds me of LeVeon Bell. Call me crazy. I think that works pretty well in the NFL. I like both, but I think Mack is the better talent at RB. I hope they both get a shot, but they should both play another year in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
