This guy does not look like an NFL RB. Stiff. Has good straight line speed and good strength, but he doesn't get his pads down for contact and he has no wiggle.What stands out to me about Gaffney in those clips is his almost total lack of hip flexibility/lateral agility.
Very straight-line athlete. Really struggles to plant and cut.
Yea. Watching him and then watching Ameer Abdullah is an interesting contrast. They're like two different species entirely.This guy does not look like an NFL RB. Stiff.

Yes. Abdullah reminds me of Warrick Dunn or even...no blasphemy intended--Barry Sanders. He is on the small side, but runs big, and man o man, he has wiggle!Yea.

The Marty Hurney Unemployed GM Invitational LeagueI was googling DeAngelo Williams to see if that guy is planning on actually getting old any time soon, and I came across this funny nugget.
I'd like to see the league where DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart are 1st round picks."I joked with people that my fantasy value went up after we got rid of our four receivers, but it’s the truth," Williams said. "I went from probably being drafted in the fifth and sixth round to being in the first round, me and Jonathan (Stewart) alike because we have no receivers." We found this more humorous than helpful, but it's a slow news day. Williams rushed 201 times for 843 yards (4.19 YPC) and three touchdowns last season. He turns 31 in two weeks.
I think that was his point. Problem is, Taylor started his healthy streak in his 5th season and Stewart is already entering his 7th.Fred Taylor ended his career staying rather healthy, and very productive. So yeah, I hope Stewart does end up exactly like Fred Taylor. Best case scenario really
/EBF/ Taylor had much more wear (touches, yards, catches, production, TDs) in 5 years than Stewart did entering his 7th so obviously Stewart is a buy low. /EBF/I think that was his point.

Jonathan Stewart - RB - Panthers
Jonathan Stewart has been an active participant throughout the offseason program.
Given Stewart's injury history, it's newsworthy when he's actually practicing during the spring/summer. This is the healthiest he's been since before the 2011 season, when he proceeded to average a career-best 5.35 YPC on 142 rushes while playing in all 16 games. Still just 27 years old, Stewart still has a chance to resurrect his career while sharing the reps with DeAngelo Wiliams. There's more upside for the Panthers here than fantasy owners.

Yep. Potential 800 yards and 5-6 TD at that price. Sign me up.The thing is they are being drafted so late, you can get them both for peanuts. If I get a RB3 value out of my 12th and 15th rounder I'd be happier than a pig on Pluto.
According to the Charlotte Observer, Jonathan Stewart "showed great burst every time he touched the ball" during spring practices.
Stewart is 27 and DeAngelo Williams is 31, so this season the gap between the two should be much smaller. Stewart is as healthy as he's ever been in his NFL career, while Williams is in his annual-decline phase. Stewart's current fantasy Average Draft Position is undrafted. Considering the cost, Stewart is one of our favorite 2014 running back sleepers. He's never been this cheap.

Whoever had July 24th in the " when will Johnathan Stewart get injured pool ", collect your money.
Call me shockedJonathan Stewart - RB - Panthers
Jonathan Stewart pulled his hamstring prior to training camp and will miss the first 1-2 weeks.
Coach Ron Rivera says the pull isn't as serious as some hamstring injuries can be, and added that Stewart will remain on the active roster. Still, it's not the way to start off a season for a player that's missed so much practice time due to nagging injuries over the last few years. DeAngelo Williams will soak up first-team reps as he forges his nose in front of this committee attack.

Are you being serious?Oh boy, some more low hanging fruit for shark pool fodder. Hilarity will ensue
Yeah, sure he's laughing about not having the body to play the game he loves...And the Panthers keep paying him. The guy has got to be laughing all the way to the bank.
If he loved it so much, he would be in shape and not pulling hammys.Yeah, sure he's laughing about not having the body to play the game he loves...And the Panthers keep paying him. The guy has got to be laughing all the way to the bank.
