THE GOOD
-Thick, compact frame with impressive power coiled up
-Refuses to go down on first contact, fights for every blade of grass; rarely brought down by one defender in space
-Plays with good tempo and burst; embodies “slow to, explode through” mantra
-Good contact balance, able to remain upright through contact to lower half
-Able to get skinny, slip through smaller gaps without losing speed
-Has good feel for position in the passing game; willingness as a blocker and has ability to make plays through the air
-Consistent production across the board at two different programs
THE BAD
-Lacks the elite-level speed to finish explosive plays; gets caught too often at the tail end of runs
-Does not have a second gear in space; what you see is what you get
-Technique in pass protection is a work in progress; doesn’t explode into contact like he does as a runner, ends up catching and holding
-Tends to search out contact too much in the run game; vision gets clouded at times, causing him to miss cutback lanes
-Quite a bit of wear and tear across three collegiate seasons; 42 career games, 739 carries, 59 receptions (20 touches per game)
