PLAYER ANALYSIS
Running back-turned-linebacker with good length and range. He's still piecing together his fundamentals and instincts at the position. Crowder can really run and that shows up when sprinting and weaving around traffic to chase down outside runs and perimeter passes. He has a feel for lane choices by runners, but flowing with leverage and learning to tackle with balance/proper pad level are still works in progress. His fluidity and athleticism are excellent building blocks for future growth. Plus, his potential in coverage and on special teams adds to his chances for success. Crowder should fit nicely into a backup role early on.
