Matt Waldman on De'Von Achane

Achane exemplifies the modern space-oriented RB archetype thriving in outside zone schemes.

Devon Achane is cited as an example of the modern NFL running back archetype—smaller, space-oriented backs who excel at outside zone runs and turning the corner with quick initial and early acceleration. This archetype is becoming more prevalent as the game shifts toward more space and 12 personnel usage, and Achane is listed alongside Jahmyr Gibbs and Austin Ekeler as successful NFL examples of this type.
