It's rare to find a player who is equally adept at running you over as he is at making you miss. And he's a plus, plus receiving threat-- he runs downfield routes and can track passes over his shoulder. He's an advanced pass protector, and was actually a super nasty lead blocker for the Tide out of two back sets. The main weakness to his game is that he's a short strider. When he gets in the clear, he doesn't have the ability to open up his gait and find another gear. So he doesn't really hit home runs. That's something of a double edged sword. His compact frame is what makes him so hard to tackle and so agile in tight quarters, but it's also what prevents him from taking off for 70+ yard gains.I think he's a stud, but teams will have to weigh for themselves how high to take a back who lacks that homerun speed.</blockquote>
