solid guy to have on your three-deep. he lacks that certain NFL feature back magic, but he's great at waiting for his blocks to set up, can break a few tackles and won't kill you in the passing game. he's run out of all the pro formations (shotgun offset, single back, I-form) in college and done so well.

great at falling forward and making compact cuts to slip around penetration. burst and long speed are only average -- he loses races to the corner -- plus his open field moves are comedic. his favorite is the triple-juke, trip-myself-into-a-ground-tackle.

got in the doghouse for soft fumbles in 2017, then injured, so his overall numbers are down. but in 2016, Michigan and Ohio State gave him eight-man boxes full of NFL defenders and he had two of his career-best games.
