| Strengths | Powerful north-south runner with great leg drive. Has tremendous acceleration for his large size. Makes arm tacklers look silly with his package of speed and power. Excellent burst out of cuts and off blocks. Runs with a purpose and doesn't shy from contact. Great all-around athlete with strong natural build. Squares his shoulders quickly and then takes them away from tacklers. Has an extra gear when being chased. Improved his pass protection in 2008 and developed into a solid cut blocker. Has adequate hands and runs precise routes in passing game.
|
| Weaknesses | Can be impatient, doesn't always wait for the hole to develop. Had a nagging toe injury that took away his explosiveness and it's the type of injury that can linger for years. Shows some tightness in his ankles and hips when running. Not the easiest guy to coach, both on the field and in the locker room. Needs to learn that sometimes a 2-yard gain is better than trying to turn every run into a long TD. Is not one of those backs who improves with more carries throughout a game.
