As a 3rd back?

IIRC Payton was interested in him coming out of LSU.

Yes sir. I think he’d eventually beat out Murray as the 2nd back. I love Jeremy Hill.

Unless there is some "set back" we aren't aware of, I'd be very surprised to see anyone detach Murray for the #2 RB spot.

Especially considering Hill is coming off an ankle injury and more recently a torn ACL (it was pretty gruesome) back in Sept. Not sure if the Saints brass will travel (gamble on a injured player at a skill position) down that road again in 2019.

Don't know about that. Murray was pretty impressive v. Minnesota...

He had a run of about four-five yards where he eluded like six defenders...

Haven't seen Hill make that kind of run in the NFL...

Murray is reminding me more and more of Deuce...

He was gashing the Saints just last year before Zimmer stop running the ball.

Many will love Murray and short yardage downs as well. Super tough to bring down.
