It’s impossible to watch Austin Ekeler play football and not smile. The energy, strength, balance, explosion, and vision he exhibits with the ball in his hands is just plain fun. It seems that every time the ball touches his hands, something good is about to happen.
Now there are a lot of people who seem to consider the term “receiving back” to be an insult. And it could be, if that’s all a RB could do, and if he was only doing it 3 or 4 times a game as a checkdown.
Ekeler is neither of those things.
