Laurence Maroney Grade: 4.17  Position: RB  Class: Jr  School: Minnesota  Conference: Big Ten  Ht., Wt.: 6-0, 217  40 Time: 4.48   Selected by: New England Patriots   Round 1, pick 21 (21 overall) Grading System

BIO: Started the past three seasons in a rotational system at Minnesota. Awarded All-Conference honors since his freshman campaign. Junior totals included 281/1,464/10 on the ground with 17/170/1 as a pass-catcher. Ground totals the prior year included 217/1,348/12. Rushed for 1,000 yards each of the past three seasons. POSITIVES: Patient, elusive ball carrier with outstanding instincts. Waits for blocks to develop, weaves through the traffic and finds the open space. Quick-footed, cuts back against the grain and makes defenders miss. Bounces around piles or beats defenders around the corner. Does not go down without a fight and falls forward when tackled. Solid pass-catcher. NEGATIVES: Cannot run to daylight and presents himself as a one-speed back. Must pick up the blocking intensity. Not a pile-mover. Has had problems with minor nicks and bruises in the past. ANALYSIS: Handling a lot of carries in college, Maroney showed up bigger and stronger at the combine. Could be an effective West Coast back in the NFL. Photo: Matthew Stockman/Getty
