There are strengths and areas that need improvement, but when it is all said and done, Dowdle has pro size, vision and toughness as a runner. His elusiveness is created with vision rather than wiggle and he's more determined than punishing as a finisher. His tape was great to start the 2019 season but faded after an injury in early October against Florida on his first carry. While he's handled third-down duties, he needs to become a better pass-catcher and pocket protector as a pro. He may not be fast, but there is plenty of burst for inside/outside running. Dowdle has the tape and traits to become a three-down backup or committee running back.
Prototypical size/build of an every-down back with limited tread off the tires, but Feaster doesn't have the high-performance athletic traits like wiggle and speed and doesn't create enough yardage through power. He needs to tighten up his pass protection and become a much more physical runner to have a chance.
