Draft Eligible RB Fumble Rates

Something I look for every year.  Which RBs can you count on to take care of the ball.  Metric shown is number of touches per fumble --  Darrel Williams is at 359 touches per fumble.

Not looking good for my Dawgs, both Chubb and Michel below average.  Even though Michel's ball security improved during his 4 years at UGA -- 2 fumbles in 160 touches in his senior year, it is still a red flag.  And his Q4 fumble against Oklahoma almost cost us the Rose Bowl--although he did make up for that with the OT TD run.

I saw something on this (Michel vs Jones fumble rate) a few weeks back. Definitely an interest hunk of salt on the scale. 

I gotta do some digging on this LSU Williams back. He has a small, but very staunch support group who feel like he's the best kept secret in the draft.
