RB Bhayshul Tuten, JAX (2 Viewers)

You got your own page on FBG, man! Celebrate!

A 4.32 forty time with a 40.5" vertical and a 10'10" broad jump. 1.49 ten-second split.

Welcome to at least the third round and a date with (maybe) San Francisco.

Was thinking Guerrendo as I’m reading and then you add SF at the end. Nice.
 
Was really hopeful for him as a target for Pittsburgh on Day 2 as a Najee replacement/tandem guy with Warren. That forty likely complicates that.

Love his contact balance on tape. You dont wrap? You dont get him to the ground. Pretty big thighs/*** for his frame, which explains the burst/long speed, I suppose. Little bowling ball.

He was jobbing guys in pass pro at the Senior Bowl too.

Sounds like he has no agility and is simply a sprinter out there but if he lands in the right offense with those skills he could make quite a splash.

I don't think this is true. They're questioning his wiggle and hips, but all I saw on his reels were people missing and him running a long, long way. Could turn out to be a poor man's Tevin Coleman. Who knows?

Plus his contact balance is nuts.

Only real serious rub on him is fumbles/drops.

Could see him maybe being this year's Tyrone Tracy.

Like Tracy, he needs to clean up his ball security. 9 fumbles the last 2 years is something that despite his impressive combine, I'd be surprised if he wasn't a day 3 pick.

Not a horrible comp, though I think Tuten has more juice as a runner and less receiving chops.

To keep it the Steeler vernacular, he sort of puts me in the mind of "what if Willie Parker and Barry Foster had a test tube kid?" He's a little bowling ball with balance/power (a la Barry) and crazy acceleration/speed (a la Willie). Neither of those guys were highly drafted, and both had some ball security issues early on too.

Cant teach that "pop" he has, though. I really hope Pittsburgh is seriously considering.

Might be closer to Jamal Charles.

Went back to look at some numbers, (yds per carry after contact plus missed tackle rate), and this guy seems very legit, so add me to the very intrigued list.
 
Next Gen Stats
RD 4 | PK 104 - Jaguars: Bhayshul Tuten RB, Virginia Tech

In a deep running back class, Tuten stands out with elite testing numbers and home run potential. After transferring from North Carolina A&T, Tuten became a two-year contributor at Virginia Tech, rushing for 1,159 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2024 en route to second-team All-ACC honors.

Tuten turned heads at the combine, posting the fastest 40-yard dash (4.32 seconds) and 10-yard split (1.49) among running backs in Indianapolis. But his athletic profile goes beyond top-end speed; he also recorded a 40 1/2-inch vertical and 10-foot-10 broad jump, helping him earn an 82 athleticism score, fifth among RBs in this year’s class. While his production score (72) is more modest, Tuten’s speed profile offers real value as a change-of-pace weapon and special teams contributor.

Tuten was @NextGenStats' No. 3 ranked Day 3 hidden gem entering this year's draft.
 
Missed tackles forced per attempt NCAA RBs 2024
1 - Jeanty - 0.40
2- Skattebo - 0.35
3 - Tuten - 0.34

YAC per attempt - 4.40 - 13th of 175 qualified RBs

PFF rush grade 80.5
Elusive rating 143.2
Breakaway percentage 54%

I'd imagine Tank still maintains a solid role and workload. But Tuten is an explosive TD waiting to happen and I'd imagine will get schemed a lot of prime touches to showcase his talent, Great Value/America's Choice Achane style. I think ETN is relegated backup and out the door end of this season.
 
I'm looking to draft this guy in every league, every format. High talent potential combined with high potential opportunity on what I'm expecting will be a very productive offense. He's this season's Bucky Irving.
