Scouting Report

Assets
  • Good size-power combination. Will break some tackles. Has good hands and can work zone coverage on pass routes. Blocks well and can be a great third-down back. Tough and hard working.
Flaws
  • Runs tall. Doesn't always hit the hole at full speed. Lacks breakaway speed. Is a spread-option type who must adjust to the tiny holes of the NFL.
Career Potential
  • Very good prospect.
