Very good size, muscularity and physical development -- has an NFL body. Good feet and agility to get to and through the hole. Surprisingly quick to the corner for a big back and flashes some creativity. Nifty in tight quarters and will drop his shoulder and consistently fall forward. Very natural, effortless catcher. Willing blocker effective chipping ends. Solid pro-day showing, when he registered a 38-inch vertical jump and bench-pressed 225 pounds 28 times.
Weaknesses
Average power and tackle-breaking ability. Does not churn out a lot of yardage after contact and much of his production is blocked for him. Not a fiery competitor. Lacks elite, finishing speed and can be tracked down.
Draft Projection
Rounds 5-6
Bottom Line
A nifty, instinctive zone runner who made his senior season his best and showed very well at his pro-day workout, adding nine pounds since the East-West Shrine Game but still showing fluid movement skill.
