Kenneth Farrow II, RB, San Antonio Commanders

Week 2 stats: 13 carries, 74 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 2 receptions out of 2 targets, 25 receiving yards

Some might remember Kenneth Farrow from his days as a Houston Cougar, others might remember him for his string of starts with the San Diego Chargers late in 2016. I’ll remember him as the man that already possesses one of the filthiest trucks in the AAF.

Farrow made Orlando Apollo’s defenders day a nightmare as he was able to churn through contact all day long due to exceptional balance and footwork while recovering. Farrow didn’t just flash an ability to fight for extra yards, as he has also looked like one of the more complete backs in the AAF due to his vision, burst, and lateral quickness — which happen to fit well within the Commanders zone run scheme.

Farrow has a legitimate shot at the NFL because of his decisiveness as a runner and hard-nosed running style. His measurables are also in his favor as well as he boasts a rather sturdy 5’9″, 220 lb frame and ran a 4.59 40-yard-dash at his Houston pro-day. By the time of the AAF season, Farrow will be only 26 years old. With little wear on his tires, NFL teams might come knocking at his door to give him another shot.
