He's a very good collegian without the special traits to be unique in the NFL.

Credit to him for compiling a great career -- he's started 50 of 52 games over the last four seasons, which for a running back, is a skill in and of itself. Probably the next best thing you can say about him is he plays with great balance, and is not overly bad at any one aspect of his position.

But there's lots working against him. He's small (5'10, 191) without great burst or long speed. He is only average in the open field, and too often gets brought down by the defender he's supposed to make miss. He runs in a great system and behind a very good line, but despite free lanes into the second level, he'll just get the requisite 6-8 yards.

You know how it goes, familiarity breeds contempt. His best chance is to catch on as a third-stringer due to his well-roundedness.

+ Slippery runner with noted durability
+ Master of none but contributes in all phases of his position
+ Sharp hands when targeted (not usually)

- Leaving college with nearly 1,000 touches on his sub-200-pound frame
- His lack of speed makes him easy to track and he leaves yards on the field
- Textbook "super college player" whose talent falls just short of NFL baselines
