a Fordham back whose value depends on role, not volume
Welch appears to be a **depth/rotation running back** for Fordham rather than a proven high-volume producer, so the key question is whether he can carve out a larger role in an offense that was more run-heavy in 2024 and 2025 than it was efficient. Fordham’s recent team stats show modest scoring and middling offensive output, which means a back who can create yards after contact, stay reliable in pass protection, and contribute on special teams has real roster value. That makes him intriguing as a fit for teams that want toughness, versatility, and low-maintenance reliability over flash.
