Tashard Choice, RB


Overview

Overview

Choice was highly productive at Georgia Tech and was the centerpiece of the offense. Whether he can play that role in the NFL is unlikely. He lacks make-you-miss agility and breakaway speed. He is capable of gaining yards in chunks and would make an ideal complementary back.

Analysis

Analysis

Positives: Physical back who rarely goes down on initial contact. ... True north-south runner who can hit the hole and fights for extra yards. ... Good vision. ... Has cutback ability and acceleration to and through the hole to get to the open field.


Negatives: Lacks the quick feet and breakaway speed to fit every NFL offense. ... Isn't the quickest, fastest or most elusive. ... Remained productive even without Calvin Johnson to draw safeties away from the line of scrimmage. ... Some question his durability.
