all I can think about is what happens if the Packers draft Barry Sanders in ‘89

They'd stick a FB in front of him and while he'd remain productive, he wouldn't be so worshipped now.  He'd either have to hit the hole, every play, or risk playing time.
Unpopular take, I know, but they'd have tried their darnedest to coach the jitterbug out of him - his most special attribute.

Yup,like they use to say the only guy who kept Jordan under 50 in College was Dean Smith

The year Detroit got him a FB he ran for 2,000 yards. Lol.

If his career is what you expect from the 4th pick in the draft, more power to you.
quite a bit of room between "what you expect from the 4th pick" and "a whiff"

I'm in that space
