Adam Randall explains the position switch that shaped his NFL path

Adam Randall Explains Position Switch That Shaped His Path Sometimes the biggest opportunity comes from a change. For Adam Randall, that meant making the switch from wide receiver to running back—and embracing it fully. Looking back, Randall explained how that transition came together and why it ultimately worked in his favor.

“It was kind of a need for our team going into the next year. We only had redshirt freshmen running backs and incoming freshmen, and Coach [Dabo] Swinney wanted a vet in the room, and he saw my size, my speed and my pass-catching ability. Also, [he] just [saw] my knack for running after the catch while I had the ball, and we both came to the conclusion that it could definitely be a good possibility and also a good thing for me to show my versatility for the next level.

And I think it just worked out last year that I had the opportunity to show my versatility in many games and on tape. ” That adaptability now gives Randall an edge as he begins his NFL career. In a Ravens offense that values physicality and flexibility, his experience at multiple positions could open the door to a variety of roles.

As he continues to develop, Randall’s willingness to embrace change—and succeed in it—may prove to be one of his most valuable assets. This article originally appeared on Ravens Wire: Ravens rookie Adam Randall on Clemson position change
