Hyped by the amateur scouting community before the season, and promptly busted once the games started. He averaged 8.0 yards per carry on 100 touches in 2013, but this past fall he's been severely outplayed by both backs behind him and generally looked like NFL Trent Richardson's cousin.

He's fast in a straight line and quick for his size to the corner, but needs a lot of things to go right for him to utilize those strengths, since he can't break a tackle and his vision is worse than atrocious. Not a bad receiver and he could learn to pass protect well with that size. Seventh round or UDFA.

+ Valuable on special teams as a coverage guy (back-up safety for two years) and kick returner
+ If a toss sweep is perfectly blocked by everybody, he will at least get the first down
- Runs like he's wearing a diaper
- No pad level, can't break shoelace tackles, cuts like he's got nice shoes on in the mud
- Disturbing domestic violence allegations this season that aren't worth the risk given his ability
