Scouting Report
'Beast Mode' was a uniquely explosive power runner: he had a rare second gear mid-run, leaving tacklers in his wake while fighting tooth and nail for every yard. Employed great power and balance. Was a constant threat for major yardage because he simply refused to go down. Possessed enough speed for extra-long runs. Was also pretty clutch, too. Was not much of a receiving option out of the backfield. Was streaky. His personality was uniquely different, which rubbed some people the wrong way. He also had a few run-ins with the media. His body broke down, eventually, due to his incredibly physical style.
Long Range Potential: Superstar, power running back (when healthy and focused).
