He's got a low ceiling as a feature runner, but I like his style. He's a huge guy -- you hardly see backs built like him anymore -- but his feet are light. Cuts are quick enough, and his vision is good. Adequate receiver (albeit with some awful performances mixed in).

Speed is lacking, though. Probably a 4.7 guy. His pad level also needs to get better in the open field, as NFL linebackers are much stronger than the college ones he shrugged off. And he fits best in a power, man-blocking scheme -- he lost a little something when Michigan State ran their zone plays.

He doesn't have big play or much third down ability, but could find his place as a grinder between the tackles. Mid-rounds.
