If you hadn't seen this, nice to read about Marlon Mack:

Quote

“He jumps off the tape,” Pagano told reporters. “He’s popping out here. He’s a talented guy. He’s got great athleticism. He’s showing great vision out there. We’re doing one-on-one pass protection drills against the linebackers and he’s physical. He’s got toughness. He’s not afraid to stick his face in there and pick up blitzers and then he’s a weapon out of the backfield on third down. He’s got a ways to go, like everybody else, but he’s picking things up. If he can master all three phases of being a good running back, he’s going to be a special player I think.”

Chuck's paying attention.  That "jumps off the tape/he's popping out there" is what most people saw of Marlon as a freshman.  Just an ability to find the gap and get through it with the afterburners on.

Fantasy football alert, I've seen him going in mock drafts in late rounds. Especially helpful in PPR formats, sounds like he's going to be their 3rd down back in passing situations.

Hope he gets some field time early. Looking forward to some preseason action for him.

"If he can master all three phases of being a good running back..."

 

Is that like saying, "If this kid can master throwing deep passes, hitting on the short ones, and reading coverages, I think he can be a good QB for us."

Here is a full article on Mack.  it does use the Pagano quotes, but there's more, including talk of his receiving.  Some good PFF facts I was unaware of:

Per Pro Football Focus, Mack generated the highest percentage of yards before contact of any rookie rusher, and he also had the 5th highest breakaway percentage of draft eligible running backs with at least 90 carries.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
