Overview
Conner is a bit of a throwback fullback who is an aggressive blocker and a strong inside runner. He is not very effective when trying to run outside the tackles and lacks the speed to hit on many long runs. He can unload on linebackers when lead blocking up into the hole and has enough power and explosion to clear out a lane but does not do a great job of bringing his feet with him after contact. Needs work on adjusting on the move to pick up the blitz when he stays in for pass protection. He has been a quality special-teams performer and should see action on coverage units as he learns the techniques that need improving.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Conner is not fast enough to be an outside runner and sometimes is a bit late getting to the edge as a lead blocker. Sloppy footwork causes him to struggle to make blocks in pass protection. Does not have good hands, runs imprecise routes and lacks the ability to be a consistent check-down option in the passing game.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
