– Great play strength as a runner, difficult to bring down with arm tackles or one-on-one in the open field
– Solid lateral agility with decisive cuts behind the line of scrimmage
– Always finishes his runs falling forward; delivers the hits rather than taking them
– Great vision both behind the line of scrimmage and in the open field
– Good body control through holes, runs right off the hips of his blockers with great angles
– Patient behind the line of scrimmage, but with very little wasted movement
– Phenomenal leg drive to move piles and gain yards after contact the hard way
– Good contact balance

– Lacks long speed or a second gear
– Burst is just adequate at the NFL level
– Pass protection needs work, tends to lunge and whiff
– Inconsistent hands as a pass catcher out of the back field
– Won’t be able to consistently get around the edge in a wide zone or toss scheme

– Just turned 21 in January
– Originally a three-star prospect out of Lewisville HS in Lewisville, Tex.
