Upright, narrowly built runner who will help in the passing game. He's decent between the tackles as a one-cut, north-only runner (who runs south?), but his acceleration is average and he can't make multiple moves without slowing his feet down too much. No power in his legs and his pad level gets him tackled weakly.

That said, he gets a big upgrade in the aerial game. Fluid receiver in the flats and down the seams; he's capable of running advanced routes in time. Hands-catcher. Maybe most importantly, he's an anchor in pass protection who meets rushers in their lanes.

Flawed like most backs in this class, but his strength on third downs is something all NFL teams can use. Mid-rounds.
