Markiel Cockrell brings explosive big-play upside to Bryant’s backfield
Cockrell is a compact, versatile RB with real home-run juice: in 2024, he posted 230 rushing yards on 41 carries, added 10 catches for 94 yards, and scored twice on the ground for Bryant. His defining trait is explosiveness, highlighted by a 75-yard touchdown run and multiple all-purpose contributions that make him more than just an inside runner. At 6-0, 193, he looks like a fit for teams that want speed, receiving ability, and special-teams value; the main question is whether he can turn flashes into a steadier weekly workload.
