Is Monangai back next year?
- Thread starter sct1111
- Start date
Just so people realize. The money a late drafted running back is looking at is not as big as many think. It's a lot less if you don't get drafted. Isiah Pacheco contract was signed for 4 years. The signing bonus (the only guaranteed portion) was $79,108. His salary per year is $870,000. His biggest value after a monster first year to KC is he is easy to fit under the cap.
Not everyone was dismissing KM. I kept saying KM was our best back last year.
Brown had 1 good game (just 100 yards) and immediately got hurt for the year.
Didn't understand everyone frothing over Brown and neglecting KM.
#BoardLegend (is that what we do now when a random mostly uneducated take turns out accurate?)
He'd look good standing next to Jalen Hurts and behind that monster Eagles OL next year.
His stock should be up with the way he played on a bad offensive team.
It's time for him to go pro because next year might not go the same .

KM has better blocking. He is not a better prospect than IP. One thing that will hurt him is his oasscatching skills.
KM proved he was the better back vs. Berger. We got the better player. While I hope he stays I thank him for his effort and hard work here.
KMs value will never be higher. He’s spent four years here and is ready. I don’t care where he’s drafted. He is going to have a long NFL career because he has toughness and terrific instincts, not to mention his blocking is top notch. Goto the NFL and make that money, young man! And please remember to support Rutgers Football after you do.
This 100%
As much as I selfishly want Kyle to return it would be ill advised on his part as his has a HC who is totally clueless on Offense and insists on parading out a QB who would never see the field on any other FBS team.
I saw highlights of his Notre Dame game against Hope Valley and he looked like a battering ram. Very hard to bring down. He could be the next Brian Leonard type RB for Rutgers!
Some of us saw that Monangai was the better back when they both were playing for Don Bosco.
I wish I could say that I thought he would turn into the back he is today though.
Could he make more then that here on a NIL deal?
What do practice squad players make?
Practice players make $12,000 a week for a max of $216,000 for the season
NFL offers pension benefits for players with minimum of 3 games service in each of 3 years.
They get healthcare for after 5 years.
Pacheco base in year one was 705k
Lots of good NIL players making less than that.
Just taking-up space in NFL pays off.
Look at Burton in NFL for 9 seasons since 2015 draft.
He hardly plays and only has 2 TDs and less than 200 combined yds.
But he's making 1,325,000 in 23 while stacking benefit credits - and he's not getting banged-up like crazy

Would assume in the Spring. He's a very smart kid.
His LinkedIn says he’ll graduate in the Spring. He’s been All-B1G academics and his LinkedIn says 1350 on his SATs.
My guess is he goes pro. Not sure where he’d get drafted, maybe he wouldn’t if he doesn’t kill it at the combine. But I think KM just needs his foot in a team’s door and he’ll succeed. He’s that kind of player. Once he gets some game time in preseason, he’ll convince the coaches.
Running backs don't last long enough for a big second contract in the NFL. I think Kyle goes and makes a name for himself in the NFL.
Either way I think he is gone. If he comes back to college, I look for a big NIL haul to get him off the Banks. Bad for us, but these are the times we live in.

With the way rookie contracts are unless he thinks he can move up to the first round the money is not much different. The key in the NFL is to get to you second contract and get your 3 years to qualify for a pension. He a fourth year guy and likely not going to burst up the draft boards by returning and could actually hurt his draft status. The only way he should come back is if he gets a 7 or FA draft grade.
I could see him catching on with a team and being a third back, blocking and special teams. Don't think he is quick enough to be a starter.
Anyone know if Aaron Young can come back with COVID and redshirting? Having him back would make me feel better if Kyle goes. Good things happen when he gets touches. I wouldn't be surprised if he catches on somewhere in the NFL as a FA if he leaves.

me too, I wanted him to get the ball 30x a game if anyone cares to look back. I'm not a Brown fan, that debate was played out here as well
I'm not in the Brown or Young camp, both are overrated.
Benji is gonna be good
Brown averaged 4.3 and Monangai 4.1 in 2022. Brown was a frosh. There was no way anyone, including YOU, should conclude that Monangai was better at that time. Not unless you are claiming some sort of precognition.
Monangai stood out his first year because no one else did.
THIS year.. Monangai is averaging 5.1 and Brown 3.4... but Browns carries mostly all came later in the season against thought competition. That said, Brown looks worse than last year and not near Monangai level this year. Brown, IMO, is not hitting the hole as quickly or with the same violence as last year... and then he does the "lean forward" thing to "finish" runs... while Monagai hits a wall and keeps those legs pumping trying to get through it.

I said the same thing regarding his lack of 'violence' at the hole and the cult went nuts (my quote was he runs like Tim Worley but without Tim Worley violence)
He also runs to upright aka TW.
I honestly like what Benji offers with another year of S&C.
Also don't think we threw enough to KM at all.
109 carries to 86
445 yards to 374
12 games played to 7 games played
Not injured to injured
I 100% questioned why everyone was losing it over BBrown preseason who was injured and didn't know when he was even rreturing.
Against KM who was the lead back all year except for one good game (28 car 101y, 1 TD and again immediately got injured for the year).
Meanwhile KM had 162 yards against MSU (but it was a loss so nobody cared apparently).
If you want him back pony up some NIL money that will be greater than what a late round draft pick or a free agent would make their first year.
We're well aware of the Judge's positive take on things over on the basketball board!
