Scouting Report:
The
Good: Quick footed shifty
ball carrier with a nice style of
running on the inside. Built low
to the ground,
runs with forward lean
and gets lost behind his linemen. Elusive,
has a burst of speed
through the hole and runs with balance. Compact build and puts his shoulders into the
defender, working to pick up positive yardage.
Decent receiver out of the backfield.
The
Bad: Lacks
the open field speed, cannot run to daylight n or turn the corner and beat
defenders to the flanks.
Short and may be a tough target for his quarterback to find in the
traffic.
The
Skinny: May only be a
situational runner at the next level but should fit into that role as a late round
selection.
