DRAFT TRACKER 2021

Anderson is a good football player, offering versatility, athleticism and playmaking characteristics, but his size is a big obstacle. He's not big enough to be counted on as a pure backup running back, which means he will need to make it as a gadget player with wide receiver potential who can return punts. He has unreliable hands and focus when working into traffic as a pass catcher but does have the smooth hips and separation acceleration to compete at the receiver position if teams ask him to make that switch.

McCrae's thin, linear frame will be tough to overcome in the eyes of NFL evaluators. However, he has tape showing his talent as a slasher with plenty of heart. He sees run-lane development faster than many RBs in this draft and is smooth processing from his eyes to his feet. He can make sudden lateral slides to either avoid tacklers or switch up his running lane. Despite his size, he has an impressive winning percentage turning red zone carries into touchdowns. He won't jet through the line of scrimmage with a big burst and doesn't have the natural strength to break tackles, though. He's a talented runner, but the lack of size and below-average third-down value will make it challenging for him to earn a roster spot.
