From the episode

He's not going to lose carries to Emmitt Johnson, a fifth round rookie pass catching running back that probably won't be able to block for a year... How many rookie running backs get, like, primary pass catching work in their rookie year? I feel like it's exceedingly rare... It basically never happens.
Mentioned at 19:15 – 20:10

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Fifth-round rookie unlikely to earn meaningful pass-catching role as a rookie.

Fifth-round rookie pass-catching running back unlikely to significantly cut into Kenneth Walker's workload; the source notes that rookie day-three running backs rarely earn primary pass-catching work in their first year, describing it as 'almost never' happening.
