Arizona Cardinals running backs coach Stump Mitchell had much to say about Andre Ellington, stating "He's a great route runner. He's excellent in terms of vision and the ability to catch and the ability to cut. He's very serviceable as a pass blocker. He can stay in and be an every-down back, which a lot of teams don't do nowadays." He also went on to state that Ellington "can do it all." (CBS Sports)
Fantasy Impact:
The coaching staff in Arizona is very high on Ellington this year, as this isn't the first gleaming report we've heard from them this offseason. The fact that Stump used the words "every-down back" is fantastic to hear. Ellington will be receiving a much larger work load this season and has a lot of upside because of it. Ellington staying on the field only helps add to his value overall. Target Ellington as a high-end RB2 in drafts. He is the consensus 15th ranked RB according to fantasy pros.com.
