Scouting Report
Heady and versatile, he was an effective role player with running and receiving skills suited to a pass-first offense. Kept his mind in the game; he was always ready to come off the bench as a rotational running back. Could break off chunks of yardage as an inside runner or short-range receiver. Was quick enough to beat linebackers to a spot; he could drop his shoulder and fight for every inch. Was not overly big, so he was prone to injury; he lacked durability for heavy usage and his snap count was usually limited at the NFL level.
Long Range Potential: Effective, dual-threat depth running back.
