Dylan Laube-RB-UNH (The Next Christian McCaffrey)

Small school prospect. Kid looks like a CMC clone, so if we decide we must take a RB again... He's Considered a mid to late round guy right now, obviously due to the level of competition. But he can run, catch, return kicks. He does it all. Remember this name at draft time.





5-10 207 4.52 measurables.

YTD Stats: 158 carries for 715 Rushing Yds, 9 TD // 68 catches for 699 yards, 7 TD

Had him in my mock, as a return specialist.

I'm telling you guys, he's the real deal. Shanahan would absolutely love this guy.

New Hampshire RB Dylan Laube
One of the biggest winners of the week was former New Hampshire running back Dylan Laube. Throughout the week, Laube showed his athleticism and his ability to be one of the most versatile weapons in this draft class. He was able to create plays from the backfield, in the slot, and consistently dominated 1-on-1 opportunities against some of the top prospects from around the country.

There is a strong argument that no player in Mobile raised his stock as much as Laube. He could be one of the biggest steals in the upcoming draft as he can make an immediate impact for multiple NFL franchises. He can be a versatile running back, a dangerous receiving threat, and a major contributor on special teams

i don't know if he's the next McCaffrey but he's the perfect Patriots gadget guy circa 2004 to 2020. He's pretty much everything that Kyle was hoping to get out of Jerrick McKinnon when they signed him. He can run, he can catch, he can be a returner, you always want guys with that kind of versatility.

Running back: Dylan Laube, New Hampshire

Kentucky's Ray Davis caught the ball really well during the week, as did USC's MarShawn Lloyd. But Laube was on a different level, which should have been expected by anyone who watched his tape from this past season — specifically, the Central Michigan game.

Laube, well put together at 5-foot-10 and 210 pounds, consistently put linebackers in conflict with his quickness on pivot routes and ability to snare the football. He also went through some wide receiver drills and was beating cornerbacks downfield while showing above-average tracking and finishing skills.

The Danny Woodhead comparisons are a little on the nose, but they fit. Laube could be drafted anywhere on Day 3 and I wouldn't be surprised.

New Hampshire's Dylan Laube has such ridiculous ball tracking ability for a running back. Has been flexing his pass catching prowess all Senior Bowl. pic.twitter.com/Mq8s3NipYd

I recall telling everyone here about Danny Woodhead before anyone knew the name too :p

I think Laube could be just as good for sure. I believe he has a chance to be a starter as he's bigger than Danny was.

I think he's at least a third round talent or better, so 4th and beyond would be great value.

I'd be psyched if they used a 4th on him, unlike with Sermon and TDP, you can at least easily see the fit and what he brings to the table immediately.

Don't see enough physicality in the 3 minutes i spent looking at his plays. Maybe a 6th or 7th at best for me.

Thanks OTC for the heads up. I made sure to pay attention to Laube during the week. I liked what I saw and read. Im looking forward to watching the full practices after the SB.

Shanny got real used to having a huge receiving threat at RB. We need a backup that has some of the skills McCaffrey does so Shanny will play him and get McCaffrey some rest.
Mitchell is always hurt. Price can't block , and Mason they don't have confidence in to play in a role other than end of game power back closer.
Will it be another 3rd or 4th end RB?

I'm hoping we draft him or Bucky Irving in this draft. Both dudes could spell CMC while allowing Shanny to call pretty much all his plays. While also being able to do some duo stuff in the event Deebo misses time.

Well, "poor man's CMC" wouldn't get as many clicks

Just clicked to see if it was a white RB lol idk but Christian tore it up in college

Looks like he has good vision but don't see him really breaking any tackles. Lot of those big plays he is untouched. Might get lit up in the NFL. We need a returner though.
