Dean Connors is a solid all-around back who should settle in as an RB2/passing down back for an NFL team. He finishes runs well with plus leg drive as he grinds out extra yards. He’s not an explosive runner, but he can pick up tough yards. Connors has average contact balance and burst. He doesn’t have stellar long speed and gets caught from behind with runs, but he plays with max effort and has no issues lowering his shoulder to make defenders pay. Conners is solid in pass pro. He can quickly diagnose his assignment and attacks incoming defenders with a solid base. Connors can anchor and hold his own while displaying good lateral agility to maneuver into position to meet defenders head-on. Connors is a trusted check-down option in the passing game. He finishes with an overall 14.4% collegiate target share and 1.43 yards per route run or higher in two of his final three collegiate seasons. He had only one drop in his final season. Dynasty Outlook: Connors joins a stacked Rams backfield as a UDFA. He’ll have to beat out Ronnie Rivers to earn a job with the Rams as their RB4. It’s possible, but not probable. I’ll pick Connors up off waivers after rookie drafts and stash him on taxi squads where I can because I’m a fan of the talent. If he doesn’t stick with the Rams, I easily could see him latching on with another team.

Robert Henry Jr. profiles as an RB2/3 or change-of-pace option at the NFL level. He has average burst at best (24th percentile 10-yard split) and decent short-area agility. He’ll toss in a nice juke move occasionally. Henry is a build-up speed runway back that does his best work with subtle jump cuts and vision in the second-level. He lacks the home run hitting, long speed, and palpable second gear. Henry is a liability in pass protection. He is late to the party at times as he’s a tick late to diagnose his assignment. Henry will lunge at defenders and find himself out of position. His lateral agility limitations show up here as he’ll get burned by speed rushers off the edge, as they easily get around him. He’s a serviceable checkdown option in the passing game with dependable hands. Henry had only three drops in college (70 targets). Dynasty Outlook: Henry Jr. was signed to a UDFA deal with Washington. The Commanders also selected Kaytron Allen in the NFL Draft to add to their gaggle of cast-off running backs. I doubt Henry Jr. sticks with the team out of camp, considering the mountain of players he’ll have to hop to make the team, but crazier things have happened. Stash him on taxi squads in deeper leagues where you can. His tackle-breaking metrics in college make him an intriguing lottery ticket.

Jayden Ott is a linear runner. He’s equipped with average burst and an ok second-gear. He’s a slasher back with smooth lateral agility. Ott wins with solid footwork, lateral agility, and plus vision. He doesn’t have the raw speed to consistently gain the edge with wide zone runs, but he can operate with inside zone and gap runs at a high level. His speed is more of the build-up variety. He can hold his own in pass protection, but he still will attempt to lunge at defenders at times and drop his head. This won’t work in the NFL, but he balances those rough reps with some strong ones where he anchors decently and redirects incoming rushers. Dynasty Outlook: Ott was also a UDFA signing for the Kansas City Chiefs. Out of all the backs on this roster, Ott is one of the ones I think has a slim shot to stick on the roster when it’s all said and done. I’ll let others chase him as a taxi squad add. There are other backs that I prefer over him in this class.
