Wild that he went ahead of chuba Hubbard. Good for him!
He got drafted ahead of Chuba Hubbard. Wow - didn't see that coming.
Good luck, Kene!
Good luck, Kene!
1 round later than Montgomery and before Hubbard. Thats crazy awesome.
Not to be mean but that seems like a horrible pick. Same with the Iowa WR
May i ask why you feel that way about Kene Nwangwu?
- one of the best returners in cfb if not the best - averaged like 26 yds there
- ran a 4.3 forty yd dash at his pro day, that's freak speed even at the NFL level
- was a backup only b/c he was behind the NCAA leader in rushing Breece Hall. Let's be honest if Kene played at another p5 school last year he would have crushed it
- great team guy and tangibles
- if he gets any crease at all from the line he is about guaranteed 6 yards. His yards per carry last year was 5.6 which is really good
I agree the 4th round is surprising, but on his body of work I would say he deserved to be drafted, no doubt.
Did you think he should not have been drafted?
Wonder if they were concerned about the tread left on Hubbard. He was ridden hard by OSU.
Kene, on the other hand, hasn't been heavily used. So if they felt he had the tools that's a good pickup for a team as he can last a long time.
Assuming Breece is drafted next year. That will be NFL drafted running backs in 3 out of the last 4 years!!
You guys know how rare that is? Maybe only Bama can say a streak like that.
I don’t keep up with the Vikings (I’m one of the few around here it seems) but maybe he means they had more urgent needs elsewhere.
You want @qwerty to spell his last name wrong? ;-)
Their return game has been horrible since patterson left.
They also needed a third string RB—and they prefer ultra athletic guys for that role.
Guess who fits that bill perfectly?
