Carlos Hyde doing serious work in spite of hits in the backfield

One trait of Carlos Hyde that gets both praise and criticism is his ability to take hits and keep on running. It gets praised because he’s an absolute bulldozer of a running back who will run through most anybody in his way. It gets criticism because of the concern he’ll break down as a running back and continue to get injured.

It remains a broad discussion point, but it is hard to deny the fact that Carlos Hyde is a talented running back. Some folks are prepared to dump him immediately, but the numbers show a potential that would be foolish to discard so quickly.
