Round 4 – Maryland RB Anthony McFarland
This is where we get back to the speed at the running back position. McFarland is a homerun threat who is very decisive and explosive. The issue that some teams seem to have with him is that he dealt with a high ankle injury in 2019 and regressed from a dominant late-season run in 2018. His game against Ohio State in 2018 might be the single-most dominant tape any RB has in this class.
McFarland met with the Chiefs at the combine, where he ran a 4.44 40-yard dash. McFarland has been compared to former Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles. It’s an impossible comparison to live up to, but if he’s even part the player that Charles was, he’s worth taking a shot on.
