The Bills drafted Devin Singletary in 2019 to pair with veteran Frank Gore in his age-36 season. Singletary bested Gore in snap share (68% vs. 35%) and rush share (42% vs. 36%). He also edged Gore in rushing yards (775 vs. 599). Singletary saw a healthy rush share and a 12% target share (No. 17), and averaged 12.5 PPR/G (No. 27) as a rookie.
The data and underlying metrics suggested some significant upside for Singletary in Year 2, with Gore moving onto another team. The situations aren’t exactly the same, but a 2023 rookie running back looks like he might have the same upside we saw from Singletary after his rookie year. Let’s examine this rookie and see what to expect in Year 2 and beyond.
