The seventh-round pick had a lot of hype coming into camp, and I had thought he could potentially challenge Kaleb Johnson for the RB3 role, but it has been Johnson getting those reps over Heidenreich consistently to start camp.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Heidenreich is losing reps to Kaleb Johnson despite precamp hype.

Seventh-round pick had significant hype coming into camp and was thought to potentially challenge Kaleb Johnson for the RB3 role, but Kaleb Johnson has been getting those reps over Heidenreich consistently to start camp. Heidenreich has been getting work as a punt returner. Despite his versatility as a runner, receiver, and returner giving him a good shot to make the team, the lack of offensive usage gives his stock a downward trend early in camp.
