| Strengths | Slippery, instinctive runner with a real nose for the big play and end zone. Has exceptional lateral quickness and cutting ability. Does a good job running with balance and keeps his feet in constant motion. Has the extra gear when being chased. Bounces off blocks with good vision. Crisp in route running out of the backfield. Not afraid to put his head down and plow for extra yards. Very good at making the first guy miss. Good toughness, both physically and mentally. Impressed at the Combine by soldiering through a real nasty bout with the flu that cost him 10-12 pounds. Confident in his ability and knows what he can and cannot do well.
|
| Weaknesses | Has a tendency to run a little upright. Relies on a jump step that leaves him vulnerable and kills momentum. Does not have elite long speed. Not a very effective blocker, though he generally identifies the correct read. Doesn't stick to his blocks, would rather chip and then flare out as a receiver. Will drop some balls and gives questionable effort on tough throws.
