Penny clicked in at 220 pounds and ran a 4.46 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, which gives him the weight and speed to sit on par next to most NFL running backs. He’s shifty through the hole and decisive, which gives him the feel that on a team with some backfield stability, he could find a way to contribute from the get-go. Two of Penny’s best skills are his ability to break away from defenders in the open field and keep his feet moving between the tackles.
