PLAYER ANALYSIS
Rocked up runner with aggressive disposition and relatively low mileage on his tires. Conner is a scheme-versatile runner, which could help him as he transitions to the next level. He's more than willing to choose violence on every snap but rarely allows that mindset to prevent him from seeking out less-trafficked pathways with his vision. He will run himself into some tackles because of his red-hot tempo, but ironically, he's a patient and highly effective short-yardage back. Conner's disappointing showing at the NFL Scouting Combine is hard to ignore, though, and could hurt his standing with evaluators. Conner has three-down talent and projects as a good committee back with the frame to carry a workload if needed.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Smaller but talented running back with legitimate versatility to wear a variety of hats for a team. Some teams will be drawn to his diverse athletic background in addition to his competitive nature. He's not overly explosive but does a nice job of creating missed tackles while keeping his play speed up. Ealy is not much of a gear-shifter, so defenses will find him more quickly as a runner in the league. He's a talented target outside the pocket, doing damage against man coverage and after the catch. His ability to return kicks only bolsters his draft value and chances of finding playing time.
