Short-limbed, compact runner who requires a limited menu to have rush success in the NFL. To his credit, Borghi's stat line has been solid in all three seasons he was healthy and he offers rushing and receiving versatility out of the backfield. However, he's a linear runner lacking short-area wiggle and he is much more brake-oriented than gas-oriented when it comes time to hit it between the tackles. Borghi's acceleration turns into quality top speed to the perimeter or in the open field, but it is hard to project a successful NFL career given his issues creating for himself and an unwillingness to hammer it inside.
