Clyde Edwards-Helaire could be the next Christian McCaffrey

The NFL is called a copycat league for a reason.

With the emergence of running back Christian McCaffrey in recent years, everyone is looking for the next multi-purpose tailback that can be used in the passing game just as much as the running game.

LSU’s Clyde Edwards-Helaire could be that guy.

Edwards-Helaire, who measured 5-foot-7 and weighed 207 lbs at the combine this week, is an extremely versatile running back who accumulated over 1,800 total yards as a junior in 2019.

The former Tigers running back is viewed by NFL teams as a player that can be used like the Panthers have used McCaffrey.
