| Strengths | Powerfully built one-cut back with tremendous natural vision. Sets up his blocks and cuts off them as well as any back in recent memory. Can take a hit and keep going. Always keeps his feet churning hard. Quick acceleration out of cuts. Has an extra gear when being chased, though his top-end speed isn't elite. Very natural receiver, good body control and hands. Runs crisp patterns and looks comfortable split out and in motion. Durable workhorse with great conditioning. Very intelligent, perceptive young man who is an engagingly bright interview.
|
| Weaknesses | Only had one really good college season, in which he more than doubled his prior 2-year output. Has a tendency to run east-west too quickly, trying to bounce a big one outside when a 2-yard plunge will do. Needs to work on pass protection and recognition; doesn't attack the rusher and lets the defense dictate the contact. Doesn't lower his shoulder or bend his knees when hit; relies on his effort and strength instead of proper power-running technique.
