Scouting Report

Assets
  • Still has great top-end speed and one-cut quickness. Very patient, with excellent vision. Can find a crease and generate positive yardage. Has learned to avoid injuries after missing lots of time early in his career.
Flaws
  • Can't take a 25-carry pounding. Has lost a lot of his receiving ability. Doesn't have much open field make-you-miss anymore.
Career Potential
  • Fading Pro Bowler but solid starter.
