I am looking forward to some Zenner in 2016.
And Zenner is not the fastest or biggest RB as the article was helpful enough to mention.
If given a fair chance Zenner could be the starter this year. That's a big if.
I would think Caldwell being the coach could be the real issue. I hope he gets some more carries or if he gets cut that some team gets him that will give this guy the opportunities he deserves.

Caldwell's not the issue; 32 teams had a chance to draft Zenner and 32 teams declined. Caldwell deserves a bit of credit for giving Zenner a lot of playing time in the preseason last year and talking him up. Who knows what's happened lately -- likely some locker room grumbling as blacks resent any White running back (J. B. Cash wrote some good stuff about this) and Zenner is being sacrificed for the sake of "team unity."
And if he does play, there'll be defensive players out to send him to IR again. Same for McCaffrey next year. When there's only one, or a very few, White players at a position, they're always a target. And with defenses now 90% black, well. . . There will be no relative "safety" for White players in the NFL at verboten positions until there are a lot more of them so that they don't stand out like Negro albinos at a BLM meeting.
We have catalogued the various reasons for the demise of the white star position players in sports over the years. There is the constant media pounding of the drums about white inferiority, early age segregation of positions--white youngsters are instructed to stay still and don't run--the sociological factors that lead white athletes to play sports other than football , basketball and baseball( like lacrosse and wrestling or even inventing new sports that revolve around skating etc., the sheer lack of confidence of white people in general when it comes to sports--like waves pounding the shore whites have been beaten down over the years and several other reasons to boot including what Don mentions in his post.Caldwell's not the issue; 32 teams had a chance to draft Zenner and 32 teams declined.

It's just gets more and more sickening:
Free agent Joique Bell worked out for the Lions on Tuesday. Ameer Abdullah (foot) appears poised to miss Week 3, leaving the Lions a man short at running back. Bell hasn't been an effective player in four years, but knows the Lions' offense. Were Bell to re-sign, he'd back up Theo Riddick and Dwayne Washington.
