Definitely a good teammate. Played his way from ST to starting RB. With no NFL regular season experience, it would be a big mistake to sit out 2018. Doubtful he could earn up to $77,000 in six months. His best option is to play, and prove he merits a shot at the NFL. If he chooses to sit, he runs the risk of being considered a marginal, malcontent, or worse just forgotten. I am sure he'll be at training camp just as motivated as he was in 2017.
