I need to look at the participation reports. I know he's played in 2-3 games. It says 10 wow.

I thought he had good lateral movement ..  quick twitch past the line ..   himself and Diggs..   gonna be a great combo for a few years imo

He was faster than I expected him to be too.

Not sure I see a point in redshirting many players anymore. Those that are the level of guys we want aren’t staying 5 years anyway.

He most certainly has the SEC full skillset. Build jumps out at you. Was the teams second leading rusher yesterday. Had 61 yards that quick 2nd only to Buchner's 68

 

Here's the stat PDF from und.com.

Awesome!!!       Hope the young fellas all across the board keep their minds and hands to the grindstone!!

He’s played a lot on special teams.

Very correct. We've been short on linebackers. The next best thing to a LB/S on kick teams is a powerfully built running back like Estime.

I think Estime is definitely more in the power back category, he does have some speed, but it does not equal the other 3 RBs on the roster. It is good to have a change of pace type back though instead of 3 copies.

Instead of trying to jump that defender or juking the others, he should have just trucked them. Definitely a power back, which is nice to have.

Loved this kid in HS in New Jersey where he was  Gatorade Player of the Year,. So glad when ND flipped him from Sparty late.

He is a  stud and will draw comparisons to Jerome Bettis!!

Estime's build reminds me of Javonte Williams the rookie RB for Denver from UNC. Bright future ahead for the ND backfield! 

He has played a ton of special teams and was an H-Back in the short-yardage offense, I believe. But, only had his first carry on Saturday. Obviously, he needs more. RBs are looking great this year, post bye week. Not sure what's up with Tyree though - I wonder if his turf toe is worse than reported. He just does not have the same burst or wiggle as he had last year, and the other RBs are looking dynamic.

Do you know the snap percentages each is getting?  At this point, I doubt Williams needs as much practice as some of the other guys. Plus, he’s your workhouse and you need him fresh. I would hope the backups are now starting to see an increase in practice reps.

I have all the info needed to find that out right here. https://und.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/NDFB-Season-Stats-12.pdf page 4 and 13

total rushing attempts: 396

 

Kyren has 185/396= 46.7% 922 yards

Coan has 50/396     12.7 %   -81 yards

Tyree has 45/396   11.3%  160 yards

Buchner 43/396    10.85 Percent 280 yards

Diggs 39/396       9.8 percent  203 yards

Estime 6/396        1.5 percent  61 yards

 

I read your request wrong @coltssb but am going keep those in-game percentages there
