This is an interesting PS addition.
Hawkins was projected to be drafted. Several draft sites had a fifth round grade on him. Already been with two teams, so guessing he has not shown much; and he is a little guy. However, this was a very productive college back when he chose to play at Louisville.
As a red-shirt freshman in 2019, Hawkins rushed for over 1,500 yards (5.8 per-carry in 13 games). The he followed that up with 822 yards in 8 games, at 6.2 yards-per-carry, in 2020 before quitting to concentrate on the 2021 Draft.
I am a little RB-focused. When the Rams lost Akers (huge loss in my opinion), I was hoping they would add
two backs. I was thrilled with the Sony Michel pick-up but would still prefer another RB in case Henderson AND Michel are unable to be active at the same time.
Not saying Javian Hawkins is the answer but I was not even considering Otis Anderson as an option. Should Henderson miss time, it's Michel backed-up by Jake Funk, with Buddy Howell and Javian Hawkins available off the Practice Squad.
