Analysis of Draft Picks & Undrafted Rookie Free Agents
Jacob Kibodi- RB, Undrafted Rookie Free Agent, ULL (6'2"/225#) 40 Time- 4.64 Vertical- 30.5" Broad Jump- 10'2" Bench- 15 Reps.
There is not much information on Kibodi. The only information I can give you is on games I personally went and watched myself and the three games I DVR'd last season. This is the analysis that came up with.
My Thoughts:
This is my personal opinion on Kibodi from what I was able see. Kibodi does have some speed and power. He can run it up the middle and he can come out of the backfield and catch the ball. H e has nice hands and he's a good route runner. I compare him to Elijah Mitchell of the 49'ers. Kibodi is a running back that is athletic and even though he is tall, he has some shiftiness to him. He has the physical tools to work with and develop. Kibodi does some good things, but he still has some things to learn. I believe he will be a good developmental project and work his way into the RB rotation at some point.
I found it odd that the Saints didn't draft a running back anywhere in the draft. They waited until after the draft to sign a rookie free agent. I saw RB's go before Kibodi that weren't any better and some that were worse. Could be that he came from a Div. II college.
