Intrigued. I've been holding Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason for a while. This seals Mason's fate - he's a drop. Will probably continue to hold Mitchell (love the talent).

Wonder if Guerendo returns kicks? They had Deebo doing it down the stretch, and I can't imagine they wanna keep doing that.

4.33 at 225 lbs. And now with Shanny.

The Coachspeak Index
#Niners HC Kyle Shanahan on why San Francisco traded up for RB Isaac Guerendo:

“I love his speed… All our backs can run, but it’s nice to add one who possibly can run a little bit faster, just for the change of pace and things like that. I like his running style.”

Only two prospects in the last 20 years have weighed 220+ pounds AND ran a 4.33 or faster. Via @dpbrugler:

1. DK Metcalf
2. Isaac Guerendo

.@LouisvilleFB RB Isaac Guerendo is probably most consistently talked about as being an elite athlete. But he’s more than just that.

He’s had limited carries relative to his peers in his college career (which many NFL scouts bring up as a POSITIVE, as he has less “tread on his tires”).

And when he has gotten opportunities, he’s been one of the most explosive RBs in the country.

He’s averaged 6+ YPC each of the last three years. Even more impressively, in 2023, he averaged 4.1 yards AFTER contact per carry

That 4.1 was top-five in the country among FBS players in the 2024 draft class (and his fellow @ShrineBowl RB Tyrone Tracy was #1 with 4.4)

He also improved as a pass blocker, with just one game with a sub 70 pass blocking grade per @PFF_College.

And as a receiver, 13 of his 24 catches this year went for first downs. SEVEN went for 15+ yards.

His EXPLOSIVENESS shows up as a runner, receiver and returner on film.

And of course, he’s an elite athlete. But let’s just look at how RARE he is from a couple different sources (at 6’1, 220):

BEST 40 time and vertical (and top 5 in broad and shutteles) among RBs at Combine

4.3 PAI per @TrckFootball, including in a tier with Jonathan Taylor based on his 100m and 200m

99 for @NextGenStats, tied for the best RB score ever at the NFL Combine, in tier with Saquan Barkley and Chris Johnson

9.9 on RAS per @MathBomb, with comps to Edgerrin James and Breece Hall

Isaac Guerendo is truly a special, unique prospect. There’s maybe only a handful of RBs with his size and talent in the last decade of draft prospects.

And it’s a big reason why, despite just 165 touches (including kick returns) in 2023, it’s unlikely he gets out of the top-four rounds.
