Scouting Report
The sixth-round pick in the 2021 draft made an instant impression in the NFL by running for more than 100 yards in his debut. He has shown a great work ethic, as well as the leg strength to run through arm tackles, though he needs to continue to improve his acceleration coming out of his cuts. Though he is probably more of a grinder than playmaker, he has shown consistent productivity even if required to share carries.
Long Range Potential: Valuable, hard-working running back.
