Paul Canevari was Bryant’s workhorse back: tough, efficient, and a proven red-zone threat
In the 2015 season, Paul Canevari remained a reliable, physical runner for Bryant, finishing his Bulldogs career ranked eighth all-time in rushing yards with 1,509 and showing he could carry a heavy load after returning from injury. He was more than a stat line: Bryant’s staff repeatedly used him as a tone-setter and return man, which points to a player with toughness, versatility, and trustworthiness in big moments. If a team wants a compact, downhill back who can grind, finish, and handle pressure, Canevari fits the bill nicely.
