Versatile Memphis back would've been disaster for Tuitan; does everything well.

Kenneth GainwellRBTB

Kenny Gainwell is a versatile prospect who can run the ball more than he gets credit for and is a good receiver, similar to a Tootney-type player who never got a chance; he was really good at Memphis. As a hypothetical backfield signing, Gainwell would have been a disaster for Bashtaun Tuitan's fantasy value; the source explicitly states he would not be moving Tuitan up from his prior draft target if the team had signed Gainwell instead of Rodriguez. Gainwell's skill set would have been far more concerning to Tuitan's workload than Rodriguez's limited receiving ability because Gainwell does all the same things as the primary back and might actually be better, making him a scary depth-chart threat.

A Kenny Gainwell would have made me way, way, way more nervous. Gainwell would have been a disaster... he's like a Tootney type of guy... he was really, really good at Memphis... he can run the ball more than he really gets credit for and he's a good receiver... That would really scare me.
