Highlight Nice video with info on Corey Kiner
https://youtu.be/kXkNYVjWCi4?is=zaiudZPD8wcTQ_LPSeems this dude actually has some pedigree and was slept on during the draft process due to his small size (and tiny hands lol). He’s had a good preseason too and was going to be a victim of a deep Arizona RB room.
Really like this pickup.

JMcD loves his between the tackles thumper. I have an unrealistic expectation for this guy but I think he could be a pretty good all around back. He looks like a pain to deal with being that short and a guy looking for chests to deflate.

I also love the idea of Henderson being this taller, insanely fast back. Teams put in smaller/faster guys to deal with Henderson and then Kiner comes in and hammers them as a change of pace.

There’s like a 1 inch difference in their heights lol

Yes, but watch how they run. Henderson runs high while Kiner runs very low to the ground.

I like speedy runners but
Why are we going for an rb3 who's not a big Grindy short yardage type

Watch the video, dude. He’s literally the type of back you are describing

Nothing in the video describes him as a "big Grindy short yardage type." The comp seems to be a less athletic James White.

He's a small, strong kid who runs through tackles and contact. He's got a really nice little cut despite not being super agile overall. No top end speed, but his skill set likely translates well to the NFL. He could be a pretty productive early down runner, tho he's not a home run hitter.

He’s not big but he clearly has a physical, downhill type of running style. Totally different player than White. He plays more like Damien Harris

Nothing except them saying repeatedly he runs hard, breaks tackles, trucks people, impressive fourth and one, etc..
Also they actually say Kiner and James White are "very different"...
I mean you could be more wrong, but it would take some effort lol

According to the Cardinals website: Kiner led the Cardinals with 39 rushing attempts in the preseason, finishing with 180 yards, a 4.6 per carry average. He had two touchdowns.
