  08/26/21 - RB John Emery Jr.rSr/2025, LSU

  For LSU tailback John Emery Jr., it was virtually love at first sight when he met new offensive coordinator Jake Peetz last January. "He said I can be just like Christian McCaffrey," Emery said of the versatile Carolina Panthers running back who rushed for 1,387 yards and caught 116 passes for 1,005 yards in a Pro Bowl season in 2019. A year later, he became the highest-paid running back in NFL history in 2020 with a four-year, $64 million contract. "Coach Peetz actually showed me clips of Christian as soon as he came in," Emery said. "And me seeing that, I just knew it was going to be a perfect fit," Emery said.

Emery hopes to be a dual-threat like McCaffrey, who became just the third back in NFL history to gain more than 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in 2019. "Coach Peetz says I kind of remind him of Christian McCaffrey," he said. So far, though, Emery's career is not close to that of McCaffrey, who set the NCAA record for most all-purpose yards in a season at Stanford with 3,864 in 2015. As a freshman reserve in 2019, Emery gained only 188 yards on 39 carries while catching six passes for 60 yards. In 2020, he started three games and gained 378 yards on 75 carries while catching 14 passes for 73 yards. - Lafayette Daily Advertiser
