Scouting Report
Brought multiple strong offensive tools to the table: good long speed and acceleration down the field, great hands in the receiving game, solid size and ability as a return man. A regular threat for a big play once he found some space, he had the ability to play several positions. Was also an elite leaper in jump-ball situations. As a tailback (his primary position), he did not possess great quickness off the snap or much change-of-pace agility. He was mostly a one-cut, upright runner who struggled at times to cleanly hit the second level. Also, he was not a great blocker.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, do-it-all running back.
