We've seen quite a few end arounds this pre-season.

one thing they do is help freeze the defense and open things up for the inside run. even showing them in the preseason is going to make defenses wary about overcommitting. execute one in a game and it helps with the rest of the game.

That's what Moose said it looked like to him

He got tackled by the ankles, went down going fast with his foot getting pulled down.

He made a cut

And it looked like it kinda rolled as he cut right..

Also when he got tackled his ankles were rolled awkwardly.
