Scouting Report

Assets
  • Once one of the game's top workhorse runners. Had great power and straight-line speed, plus durability and the ability to wear down defenses. Was an underrated receiver and adequate blocker.
Flaws
  • Has serious character issues. Was flaky even in his best years, and later became an enigma who seemed to choose his lifestyle over football. Never had great moves or agility in his best seasons and may be little more than a plowhorse now.
Career Potential
  • Fading star.
