Scouting Report
Had blinding speed. Saw holes, made nice cuts in open field and was explosively quick. Was capable of making lots of big plays as a running back, slot receiver and return man. Brought fantastic leaping ability and good hands to the field. Was both tough and strong for his size. Was small for the NFL game, so durability was always an issue. Had trouble in blocking assignments and when opposed to big, physical defensive backs. Was not an effective short-yardage runner due to his stature. Was more of a role player than an every-down NFLer.
Long Range Potential: Talented, multi-purpose speedster with big-play ability.
