Scouting Report
An explosive one-cut runner with big-play ability. Has nice moves, fakes, and anticipation to draw defenders in then uses excellent footwork and quickness to jump laterally and accelerate into open field. Also a good receiver out of the backfield, and shows solid effort and some strength as a blocker. Not ideally patient early in his runs, and too often forces things and runs into tackling. Doesn't pack much punch on contact with tacklers and goes to the ground too readily (curtailing his ability as a goal-line and short-yardage back). While not slow he doesn't have top-tier foot-speed to consistently get outside.
Long Range Potential: Elusive one-cut tailback with solid receiving skills.
