    Wouldn’t be surprised, the QB ran the ball a lot and led the team in rushing yds.

    Pierce did have way more TD’s tho.

    Potentially less wear and tear…so it’s a good thing.

    He wakes up and chooses violence. Not a great pass catcher but a very good pass protector, but tries to run through you, not around you. Definitely a good back for the room

    He’s got his private eye on retainer.

    This video is against Bama and Georgia.

    9 carries for 69 yards against Georgia.

    He is bouncing off a bunch of guys drafted in the 1st round.

    Love taking a bruising RB to pair with our first round, bruising offensive lineman.

    I don't mind that they took him over Spiller. He's a better power runner, probably a better blocker, Spiller is a better pass catcher. I think Spiller is probably a better every down back in modern NFL offenses, but Pierce brings a different skill set. It's a good pick!

    He doesn’t dance in the backfield….

    Read, foot plant and go vertical.

    Plus he runs hard; doesn’t fumble.

    When tackled, he falls forward for that extra foot or two.

    PLUS he’s a good pass blocker.

    This is all you want in your RB.

    I like the pick A LOT!

    Mack, Pierce, and Burkhead seems a bit more formidable.

    This is a huge, underrated thing. Lightly used back who looks build to handle a load

    This video was made 3 weeks ago.

    Says welcome to the Texans. Makes the case why he’d be a good pick.

    Solid video.

    Florida has not been very good these last few years, and last year was a down year... leading to Pierce being hidden. If this guy had played for a high octane offense like Alabama or Oklahoma, then he'd have been off the board much sooner. I like the pick. Hidden value because Pierce hasn't put up monstrous stats due to low volume and playing on a mediocre team.
