Eric Kennedy made a change at the start of last season, losing over 30 pounds to transition into the receiving back archetype. That itself is more than worthy of a new year’s resolution and many wouldn’t fault Kennedy for simply aiming to keep the weight off, which he’s managed to do over the last season.
However, that weight was shed with a purpose and that purpose was to make him a more efficient player. His speed and agility have drastically improved, allowing him to move away from the slower strong-arm style of the Power Back and match the mobility that has made so many other NSFL RBs successful. It led him to finally become competitive with fellow Wraiths RB Bubba Nuck and transition from a back-up into part of a running back committee, allowing both men to better integrate into the team’s passing game and keep defenses guessing. As one of the most well-rounded offensive players in the league, Kennedy’s new resolution is to continue to shatter his old numbers and became an even more versatile offensive player that can benefit his team at nearly any offensive position. Many were shocked to see Kennedy put up 149 yards last week, the most by any player that week. He’s now vowed to prove that his breakout game was no fluke. Expect this Running Back to continue to rival WR1 level numbers while still bouncing around the field to any position that’s needed. It’s a bold claim, of course, but Kennedy is no stranger to bold claims.
