Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn rose through the ranks as one of the best running back coaches in the business. So when Lynn talks running backs, people listen.
"They're pretty good," Lynn said of a rookie class led by Florida State's Dalvin Cook, LSU's Leonard Fournette and Stanford's Christian McCaffrey (pictured).
Pretty good? Sounds like classic coaching understatement.
"They're big. They're strong. They all play fast enough. And they all create when they have to. I think it's a deep group that way."
That's more like it, coach. And what about workout results?
"I'm looking for play speed," Lynn said on Thursday, before Friday's running-back track meet.
