- Slippery, fights through weak tackles well but doesn't break a TON of tackles
- Small frame, but falls forward and fights for extra yards
- Not elite speed, but great burst
- Awesome acceleration off of cuts
- Sets up blocks well in a zone scheme
- Does a great job of making defenders over-pursue then punish with cutback
- Soft hands, natural catcher
- Adding 10 lbs could go a long way
One of my favorite runners in the 2021 class. Fantastic vision and great burst out of the cut, really shifty with the ball and creative in space. Natural fit in a zone running scheme and reliable threat out of the backfield. Lacks top notch speed and needs to get stronger for the NFL game. My RB4 in the class at the moment.
