Scouting Report

Assets
  • An athletic back with some burst and speed off the line. Displays decent hands as a receiver and can generate some yardage after the catch.
Flaws
  • Very unpolished and inexperienced. Isn't a very patient runner, or a cut-back / change-of-direction type; needs regular blocking to produce.
Career Potential
  • Reserve running back with some upside.
  • Awards
