third-down back with some speed. when he finds a lane he hits it, because he's fast enough to split most defenders in the backfield. good receiving traits, as well. doesn't run a varied route tree but he has soft hands and catches the ball correctly. pass-pro is decent with room for improvement, mostly technique-wise (waiting on blitzers, ducking early).

not a true starter because of his poor vision. he has a nice (not elite) jump cut, one that he overuses when a straight line would do. bouncy running style that gets him in trouble against speed defenses, especially when he goes cutback-crazy. lots of strikeouts while he looks for a home run to hit.

his ankles were jacked up nearly all season, so he's really only started a year's worth of games. needs to get the overconfidence out of his system, but he has a nice talent base to work with. as mentioned, a passing-down back who can threaten defenses with his speed.
