A workhorse running back. A threat in the passing game out of the backfield or split wide. A quarterback’s last line of defense in pass protection.
Jeremy McNichols believes that sort of versatility is what separates him among one of the deepest running back classes in years.
It is simply part of what made McNichols a special player for the Boise State football team.
When he wanted to become a better blocker last season, he spent time in the offensive line’s meetings to learn what makes them tick.
When he debuted in 2014, he had nearly as many receptions (15) as rushes (17).
