| Strengths | Physical grinder between the tackles with great balance and power. Finds small creases and powers through them with great vision and determination. Lowers his shoulders and drives his legs on contact. Has some ability to bounce outside, cuts very quickly at full speed. Exceptional ability to sift through traffic and fight through tackles, as good as any RB in the league in a phone booth. Reads and reacts to his blockers with an innate savvy. Great hands as a receiver, and he quickly identifies the correct route adjustment out of the backfield. Decent in pass protection. Mentally tough and confident. Has a good football IQ in terms of recognizing defenses and how to adjust to what the defense is trying to do. Has a real nice stiff arm.

| Weaknesses | Lacks top-end speed. Does not have great acceleration, relies on his strength and guile to avoid tackles. Often double-catches the ball as a receiver, doesn't consistently look the ball in or secure it quickly. Needs a couple of steps to get going and to find the hole, which means he needs a capable OL in front of him, a la Brandon Jacobs.
