Vying for reps this fall Coney (undisclosed) is competing for backfield reps this fall, especially in short-yardage and goal-line situations, Evan Watkins of 247Sports reports.

Impact Coney was limited during spring ball, but all appears to be well this fall as he states his case for work. Terion Stewart and Marcellous Hawkins appear ahead of Coney in the regular pecking order for carries, but Coney could claim a share of totes this fall as well in what is expected to form a rotation of up to three backs. Brayden Bennett is notably also attempting to grab some carries, so it remains to be seen how they will be doled out.
