ESPN NFL analyst makes pro comp for LSU RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire
Many players from LSU’s magical 2019 title-winning season decided to leave school early to pursue their NFL dreams.

On the heels of an incredible breakout season, Edwards-Helaire is an intriguing draft prospect. On Friday, ESPN draft analyst Matt Bowen broke down some of Edwards-Helaire’s tape, and made an NFL comparison for him.
As you can see in the tweet below, Bowen compared Edwards-Helaire’s game to that of former Alabama Heisman winner Mark Ingram:
