Draft Analysis:

Bucky Brooks' take: Ganaway's game was overshadowed by RG3, but the Jets appreciate his potential as a hard-nosed, downhill runner with burst.

Overview

Ganaway has been a nice supplementary asset to the Baylor offense. He had an impressive showing against Washington in a bowl game and showed why he is more than just an afterthought to Robert Griffin III in Baylor's offense. While he may have benefited from the holes that his Heisman-winning quarterback and top-wide receiver prospect (Kendall Wright) opened up for him in the run game due to their stellar pass play, Ganaway is a legitimate prospect in his own right. He shows good initial quickness, a burst through the line and seriously imposing size that give him fourth- or fifth-round value.

Analysis

Strengths

Ganaway is a huge back, and he plays that way. He is very quick out of his stance to hit the hole for such a big back, but he also shows the patience and savvy to let plays develop for him. Once to the hole he can make a guy miss or run through him, although he doesn't run with the power you'd expect out of a back his size. He is very reliable as a pass catcher and ran a lot of polished routes out of the backfield for RG3. He has the temperament of a special teams player and, given his strong ball security, could play early on, especially in short-yardage situations.

Weaknesses

Ganaway is somewhat of a passive player for his size. Once through the hole, he doesn't look to deliver a blow that he could with his body. He can stutter step at times, too, waiting for plays to develop. He will need to hit the hole with more authority at the next level.
