Well just remember, he won’t have anyone on the coaching staff who can tell him how to run like an F150 so don’t expect too much from him.

Like, how am I a traitor? Your team are traitors. -
I'll go for the positive rather than the negative. The Senior Bowl vid looked good and this is what camp is for. If I were Justin or Joshua I would be keeping my eye on this kid. Neither of those 2 did a whole lot in my opinion last year and JJ is always on the IR it seems.Comment

He seems like a UDFA to me. I hope he surprises …“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”Comment

Missouri head coach Eliah Drinkwitz joined the latest episode of "Chargers Weekly" to discuss his former player and current Los Angeles running back Larry Rountree III.
Rountree III was selected by the Chargers in the sixth round (No. 198 overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft. He left Missouri as the all-time leader in rushing yards (3,720) and rushing touchdowns (40) among running backs.
When Rountree III was selected by the Chargers
"Man, I was so excited. We talk about in our program chasing two dreams: a life with football and a life outside of football. And these guys have this great God-given ability to play this game at a high level and their dream is to play in the NFL, and so for them to have the realization of that dream in that moment it's just such a special thing. And not only for him, but for his parents and his support group and our program. We were extremely proud for him, and then you dive into the fit. I think he's going to be a tremendous fit out in L.A. with this football club and I know he'll team well with Justin Herbert and the rest of those talented football players he's got out there. But, he'll be an excellent football player for that program for a long time."
More on the fit for Rountree III in Los Angeles
"... All you're looking for is an opportunity and what you do with that opportunity is between you and God, and Larry's got a tremendous opportunity in front of him. He's going to be a tremendous asset for both that left tackle [Rashawn Slater] and for Justin to take the pressure off of them as far as having to throw the football and protect. He's a guy that can get the tough yards. It's not always pretty when you hand him the football as far as the blocking scheme, but he's going to make sure it's a positive play. And he's just got a great smile and personality, and he's going to be an excellent person in the locker room for those guys to lean on. He was voted team captain by his peers for us and just a guy that was a joy to be around."

Rountree is an asset in pass pro.Originally posted by like54ninjas View Post
McKitty is a solid blocker.
Palmer is a willing blocker.
Are we seeing a pattern here?Comment

What I'm looking for in Roundtree is a guy that can make that yard when it's needed the most. A guy that can make those first downs and touchdowns when everyone knows he's getting the ball. We've needed a RB like that for a long time.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!Comment

We can't expect to ever have another LT but anothrer Turner would serve this years team real well. Where's Marion Butts when we need him?Originally posted by Topcat View PostTHE YEAR OF THE FLIP!Comment

You're correct about Kelley and Jackson underwhelming last year, but sweet jebus, the O-line was just horrific! Walter Payton in his prime might have looked pedestrian running behind that unit.Originally posted by La Costa Boy View Post
With the line re-vamped, we'll get a more accurate read of what the RBs are capable of.
Since 2021 is the final year of Justin Jackson's rookie contract, IMO Rountree is positioned to take Jackson's roster spot.Comment

Joking aside, those early Bears team had ZERO passing threat and yet 34 dominated. I often like to think what he could have done if he'd had Emmit's OL to run behind. He'd have most likely put up 2000 yard seasons as a matter of course.
Best football player I've ever seen( I'm not old enough to have seen Jim Brown)
As for JJ and Kelley, I really like both backs but they need to produce! JJ just by staying healthy and Kelley just by holding on the bloody football. Should be a good battle in camp this year. As a fan, that's all you can ask for.Comment

Ive got concerns about Roundtree as an NFL RB.
He only ran a 4.70 - 40 and more importantly he had a not so good 1.73 10 yard split. Compared to Javonte Wiliams 1.60 and even Khalil Herbert....who id rather of drafted over Roundtree drafting late,....he had a 1.62 and a 4.5 -40 and he goes 210 lbs.
He was a good college RB but holes close quicker in the NFL so we'll see what he can do. Im not expecting a lot so im hoping he surprises me. LaGarrett Blount ran a 4.7 as well but he weighed like 245 lbs and would just punch you in the face if you got in his way :tongue:Comment
