Matt Millen make a comment during the game yesterday after Pop's touchdown on how he thinks we'll see Pop in the NFL. This was the first time ive heard anyone mention that. Is that realistic?
Pacheco and NFL?
- Thread starter arigoldrutgers
- Start date
Thought Millen was an expert at cocknose not RB. Who knew
I believe we will see him in the NFL..runs angry and doesn’t lose the ball often.
He is working behind a bad OL right now

I’m not sure he will get drafted, will definitely get a FA try. It’s very early for the 2022 draft but the RU names I’ve heard as possible draft picks are Melton, Fatukasi and Avery Young.
Remember he’s a Junior
He’ll be running behind a much better OLine next year, and also an improving one this year
Predicting now that he’ll be a draft pick. Great ball security, improved passing game, excellent instincts, and aggressively hits the hole

He could very well make it in the NFL. His problems are the OLine and his lack of big production. The running back position is loaded. So, he is going to have to up his production and hope the right team drafts him. The right team meaning the right system. He has the talent, but might well get squeezed in the numbers game, unfortunately.
I don't see NFL in this kid. Robert Martin was a better pure RB and he couldn't make it.
My knock on him was his blocking in the passing game. Haven’t noticed much this year, but last year he was consistently blocking no one. And that was the bigbest dropoff going from Quitshear to Pacheco. Quitshear wasn’t much more productive on the ground, but is a better in the passing game both as a blocker and as a receiver.
Actually bigger than Bradshaw and isn't as quick with respect to his cuts. Tough runner and improved blocker he'll get at least a look as an UDFA. And as Millen said, he could be a ST contributor on kick coverage.
That was not Mowens. It was Lisa Byington, who was just selected as the next play by play announcer for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Byington will announce for Bucks
Standout performances for Rutgers in win over Delaware
There were plenty of memorable efforts to review in Saturday’s victory.

Probably undrafted free agent but I can see him in the league. Depends on his combine numbers.
I am a big fan of his but he is missing something. I can't put my finger on it. Is it vision, patience? Don't know but he's close to being a very good back. Hope he figures it out.
It was Lisa Byington with him yesterday. She took the play by play job with the Milwaukee Bucks so I guess we won't have her around much longer
Is this a serious question? LSU puts like 3 backs in the league every year
You just need to get him in space or run him off tackle. We literally try to pound him up in the middle so often with a less than stellar OL. He literally wears them down and why other backs are getting respectable runs eventually.
Just go back and look at his TD catch yesterday...we need those more often--you get him running full speed and watch out

She did not want to use the word Cock. See already a female announcer is changing up how we talk football
NFL? I though IP was in the process of being benched?
Wait, so now IP isn’t RB2 to KM?
How quickly the tables turn.

Pacheco has improved his pass blocking pickups significantly, had a great linebacker pickup on one of the long throws saturday. And overall did a nice job. If he continues the trend in Big action it will be a significant improvement
Too slow and not enough lateral quickness. He may latch on somewhere as a UDFA but he's not an NFL talent
Plenty of jobs in the NFL for a guy with his skills and his passion for the game. If he was behind any other OL the past 4 years, he'd be a household name.
Seemed like a typical exaggerated comment to fill the downtime during a rather bland non-conference game. I wouldn’t be stunned if he latched on a roster, but there’s plenty of pachecos in the power 5.
RB is so hard to predict (which is why you shouldn’t use early picks on them).
I figured Gus Edwards might get a little play as a short yardage back, I never envisioned him doing as well as he has.
People underestimate how much better the NFL is compared to college. I like Pacheco but it'd take quite a bit for him to stick w an NFL team. Remember how absurd the NFL projections were for Caroo on this board? How'd that turn out...
