Yahoo Sports NFL on Noah Whittington

Noah seems to make a play every day. He has a really good feel for pressing blocks and his vision...I see a guy who plays with really great vision, great feel at the running back spot.
STACKED’s take
Whittington's contact balance and vision impress Ryans; preseason breakout could earn RB4 spot.
Undrafted rookie RB from Oregon competing for the RB4 spot in preseason against the Chargers with lead backs Montgomery and Marks sidelined or getting minimal snaps. The source highlights Whittington's 5'8", 203 lb bowling-ball frame, shocking acceleration, and contact balance as comparable to Jawhar Jordan's profile. Head coach DeMeco Ryans praised him directly: "Noah seems to make a play every day. He has a really good feel for pressing blocks and his vision. Just knowing when to cut, when to take the ball outside, when to…you know, make a cut back up inside. You feel a guy… I see a guy who plays with really great vision, great feel at the running back spot." The source identifies a breakout preseason performance as the next box to check for sneaking onto the 53-man roster as a potential RB3/RB4 depth piece behind Woody Marks.
