Leading running back group
Slade appears as if he'll be the starting running back now that spring camp has concluded, Audrey Snyder of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Throughout the spring, Slade was battling fellow back Journey Brown to lead the position on game days, but it appears a pecking order has worked out with Slade in first, Brown trailing him and freshman Noah Cain as the third option. In last year's running back room, Slade was second on the team behind Miles Sanders, so to see him elevated to the likely starter is no surprise. All three should see plenty of carries throughout the year, but Slade appears to be in a good position to improve on last season's stat line of 45 carries for 257 yards and six touchdowns.
