NFL Draft Diary: San Jose State’s Tyler Ervin prides himself as ‘do-it-all back’

Former San Jose State running back Tyler Ervin is a veritable Swiss Army knife on the football field.

“He’s got a little bit of everything,” NFL Network draft analyst Charles Davis said last week on a conference call. “When you get a chance to see him, size isn't going to knock you off your feet by any stretch. But he's a guy that runs inside well, good vision, nice strength in running the ball inside. You don't see him get knocked backwards. A lot of times he finishes the run going forward. Can catch the ball very well out of the backfield, willing to try to block when his turn is called.
