Film Room: How Good Is Benny Snell Out Of The Backfield?

Throughout his collegiate career at Kentucky Benny Snell, Jr (#26) was not a major part of the passing game. He had 766 touches on offense in his 3 years and just 29 of those (4%) were through the air. Nineteen of those receptions came on the road or at a neutral site.

In his senior year he set career high numbers with 17 receptions and 105 yards. Those are relatively low numbers but that is more indicative of the offensive philosophy than Snell’s ability. Running backs in 2018 had a total of 25 receptions in Kentucky’s offense.
