Thanks. I haven't seen this review before, but the more the merrier.

I am surprised that no one seems to have picked up that 2015 All SoCon running back Tee Mitchell is back for the Bears in 2017 after missing 2016. Teaming up his quickness with a healthy Alex Lakes' power (All SoCon running back) gives Mercer some experience at running back. Maybe it is just me, but I would think this would be a key addition for Mercer in 2017.

Have to agree about Mitchell. Almost a 1,000 yard season(946) and six 100 yard games in 2015 certainly deserves some consideration.

Much depends on the OL. A good offensive line can make a mediocre running back look great. A bad offensive line can make a great running back look mediocre.

More info about Tee Mitchell. Looks like he is going to be a factor in 2017.
