Quick, ain't he?

**Jeudy10Mims19** · 04-30-2023, 08:40 PM

I like his chances at making the team as the 3rd back! We already have the muscle with perine! And Williams! This explosive guy here would be great change of pace guy to pop some huge runs after we been mailing teams to death with smashing runs and play actions over the top. Then hand it to this little lightning bug in the 4th quarter and have him use them jets and quickness to bust open huge 40-50 yard plus runs!

lol I’m overly excited but I really like what I seen from this kids film for a 3 back

**IndelibleScribe** · 04-30-2023, 09:30 PM

So there is the Keaton Mitchell type. Small, fast, can do multiple things are a runner and receiver. Can't do pass protection for real. Not bad for a change of pace back prospect. Probably competing with Crockett and Badie for that role.

Living in Greenville, NC (East Carolina) I was really hoping Broncos would go after Keaton "Deuce" Mitchell. Was surprised he didn't get drafted. McLaughlin looks legit though.

Given our shown interest in him I was shocked we didn't sign him. I wanted him badly.

Jaleel McLaughlin reminds me soooo much of Eric Page from Toledo -- anyone remember him? Two-time All American wide receiver, punt returner, and kick returner, and came out as an underclassman in 2012. Different position than McLaughlin, but exactly the same bodies and gliding movement skills.

I was super excited when the Broncos signed Page as a UDFA, but he tore up his knee in training camp, and then they cut him.

Probably not the best idea to compare a rookie with potential to a rookie who got hurt and never was. Might end up a jinx.

Don't worry, I'll throw some salt over my shoulder and knock on some wood, if you're really worried about it.

I'm just saying, we don't want to Adrian Madise the poor guy.

**listopencil** · 04-30-2023, 11:42 PM

There certainly are packages you can use effectively with a guy like this to stress a Defense.

**Vera Hara** · 05-01-2023, 06:00 AM

He looked good against NDSU this year.

**uplink** · 05-01-2023, 06:30 AM

I don't see it with this guy. Cut before train camp I predict. I don't see him surviving contact, just don't like his frame and he isn't fast enough to just run through holes untouched at the NFL level.

**cmhargrove** · 05-01-2023, 07:58 AM

Damn, that 2019 season must have been unreal. 2,300 yards and 33 touchdowns must have been fun!

Prospect Profile from Lance Zierlein of NFL.com
Slashing runner who relies on his burst, wiggle and speed to stack up yardage and touchdowns. McLaughlin looks to run to daylight, but he has a hard time trusting the play development if he doesn’t see a clear point of entry. He has a plus burst and the speed to get past the second level or make a dash for it wide. He won’t be able to handle pass protection on third downs but does have talent as a receiver out of the backfield. McLaughlin can compete for a role as a change-of-pace option for teams looking to add a dual-threat back.

Strengths:
✔ Averaged 15.8 yards per catch and seven yards per carry in 2022.
✔ Ability to dart in all directions with sudden stop and go.
✔ Uses speed and elusiveness to create yards for himself.
✔ Surprising contact balance for his size.
✔ Dangerous weapon as a receiver out of the backfield.
✔ Burst and build-up speed create chunk-play ability.

Weaknesses
✔ Doesn’t always trust the blocking scheme.
✔ Needs to run with better discipline to the run track.
✔ Will struggle to break tackles on the pro level.
✔ Misses run-lane development when bouncing runs wide.
✔ Pass blocking falls well below NFL standards.

Draft Projection: Round 6

I’m in love with this kid as a prospect!!!! Sheesh

**Broncos_Avs_4L** · 05-05-2023, 03:27 PM

Phillip Lyndsay with catching skills. He’ll be a good 3rd down back. Probably not a bad thing. Looks to have a ton of wear on those tires.

**Jeudy10Mims19** · 05-05-2023, 07:29 PM

Smh man Lindsay is finished man. He can’t stay healthy and he’s tiny

**Jeudy10Mims19** · 08-11-2023, 10:58 PM

Was wrong about this guy, he is probably even going to start at least one game at RB this year.

I think it was former Denver Broncos legend safety David Burton.
