Quinton Ganther - RB

 Quinton Ganther Grade: 3.47
 Position: RB
 Class: Sr
 School: Utah
 Conference: Mountain West
 Ht., Wt.: 5-9.5, 218
 40 Time: 4.56
  Selected by: Tennessee Titans
  Round 7, pick 38 (246 overall)

BIO: All-Conference selection as a senior after totaling 205/1,120/7 on the ground and adding 25/314/1 as a pass catcher. Posted 654 yards rushing in two starts as a junior.

POSITIVES: Strong, multi-purpose back who overcame a difficult childhood to get where he is today. Aggressive and gives effort in every facet of the game. Follows blocks, has a burst through the hole and doles out punishment to opponents. Breaks several tackles during a single run and stuns defenders with a forearm shiver. Solid receiver with consistent hands. Chips defenders blocking, removing them from the action.

NEGATIVES: More of a straight-line back who has difficulty around the corners. Safety valve as a receiver rather than a true downfield threat.

ANALYSIS: One of the more underrated ball-handlers in the draft, Ganther is a competitive ballplayer with multi-dimensional skills. Solid prospect who could develop into a No. 2 back.

PROJECTION: Late Fourth Round
