The Good

– Exploded in his final two years with 4,300 yards and 48TDs while being second all-time in rushing yards for a single season
– Slippery runner with great contact balance to stay on his feet
– Presses blocks at a high level to allow better lanes to open when he accelerates
– Always falling forward for that extra few-yard gain
– Solid speed to pull away from defenders
– Athletic ability to hurdle defenders
– Great leg drive that allows him to keep going when fighting through defenders

The Bad

– 29th percentile height
– Nine fumbles in the last two years of college, 8 of which were lost to the other team
– Would like to see more incorporation of finesse running into his game, like a spin or stiff-arm
– Lacks blocking skills you’d like to see out of such a high pick
– Wanted to see a bigger role in the receiving game in 2022 and 2024 like he had in 2023
