Scouting Report
Really shines as a one-cut, inside power runner that can wear down a defense. A proven college workhorse, he has three-down ability with the speed and stamina to carry the running game and contribute as a viable backfield receiver. Undeterred by contact, he can punish tacklers with his thick frame and by using a straight-arm; he never quits on a play. Open field moves can free him at the second level. Must prioritize his pass-blocking skills and ball security as a pro.
Long Range Potential: Versatile, workhorse running back with upside.
