Him and Henderson are going to dominate the league, even if Stafford struggles at first.

Just think of what a full year of this cat will look like when looking at his last 8 games of 2020 (including playoffs)
146 carries, 660 yards (4.5 YPC) 4 TD & additional 12 rec 151 yds 1 TD
Double that up and you're looking at near 1,700 yards total offense and 10 tds

I'd like to see the receptions do more than double ... maybe triple or even more. We haven't be throwing to the backs nearly is much the past couple years and I'd like to get that aspect back in our offense. I realize we don't have peak Gurley anymore, but Cam can still be a weapon in the passing game.

Best running back in the draft and I called it! Why not trade your 1st round picks away when you can hit on slam dunks in rounds 2 and 3?

With Stafford next year and teams having to respect the deep passing game a lot more than the last few years, it will open up a TON more running room for Cam. He was the #1 ranked RB in seeing 8+ in the box last year. And he was still very productive. Next year he's gonna go off.

He was SO CLOSE to breaking some big runs.

I think having a guy who can drop dimes like Goff did in 17-18 and like Stafford has done his whole career will move those LBs back just enough to miss on those tackles they just barely made this year.

Yeah, I see Cam having a massive year, for sure.

Feels like an awesome 1, 2.

It’s crazy to think Matthew Stafford is going to fail? Just watched that Bug Whit interview.
1,2 punch? Will be interesting to watch who gets the carries.Henderson
needs to get better at seeing the holes & stay healthy.I guarantee another RB comes into play as well. Maybe some kind of a FULLBACK/TE
