Scouting Report

Assets
  • A slashing, one-cut runner. Sees cutback lanes and bursts through them. Runs with good power and deceptive speed on the second level. Has some receiving skills.
Flaws
  • Not very creative. Doesn't have move-the-pile power. Needs some carries to get going and isn't effective when he's stuffed early. Is better suited to 15-20 carries per game than 25.
Career Potential
  • Adequate starter.
