Khalil Herbert 2021 (Bears RB)

Khalil Herbert, redshirt Senior (transfer from Kansas). 5'9/210, just turned 23 in April, drafted in the 6th round by Chicago.

We look at the game Boston College @ Virginia Tech, where Herbert (#21) had 18/143 + 1/29/1.

Good run, he doesn't like the gap, so he takes it outside, then breaks a double tackle and drags them for 9 more yards for a solid first down.

Again the gap doesn't seem to be there, and another rush outside for a 1st down.

However, from another angle, it's clear the gap was there, and I think he should have taken it. An NFL back needs to see that and trust the gap.

This time between the tcakles, for a couple yards and a first down.

Here he blocks well for his QB.

Herbert could be a bellcow, or at least a rushing RB on the right team. On the Bears he would have Montgomery, Cohen and Williams ahead of him. I think he can jump them, and be the de facto backup to Montgomery
