Scouting Report

Assets
  • Solid all-purpose player. Runs low behind his pads and finishes well. Changes directions quickly. Decent receiver who can make plays after the catch.
Flaws
  • Injury prone. Not a creative runner or big play threat. Not a willing blocker out of the backfield. Will never pile yards though he proved he could carry the heavy load if needed.
Career Potential
  • Solid depth running back / team player.
