Running Back. 30. player. 16. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Travis Etienne. Clemson

While this doesn’t seem like the biggest position of need for the Buffalo Bills right now, given their recent success they can afford to go with the best player available and the talent of Travis Etienne is too much to pass up.

I realize that the Buffalo Bills already have quite a bit of draft capital invested in the running back position (third-round picks in back-to-back drafts on Devin Singletary and Zack Moss). But did you see their game last week? They ran the ball once in the entire first half of the game. Maybe having a guy like Etienne would change that mentality.

Etienne is probably the most explosive running back in the 2021 NFL Draft. When he hits a hole it looks like he was shot out of a cannon. He is elusive in the open field and has the high-end speed to finish any run for a touchdown.

As a runner, Etienne has great vision and exceptional contact balance. He is tough to get to and even tougher to bring down. As a receiver, Etienne is very dynamic and nearly impossible for linebackers to cover.

Etienne is a dynamic playmaker that would be added to an already dynamic offense. Adding a player like Travis Etienne to this current Buffalo Bills offense would be incredibly fun to watch. If the Bills can establish the run with a guy like Etienne, good luck stopping them.
