Brian Threat
Position: RB
Class: 4Sr
School: Southern
HT: 6-2
WT: 210
40 Time: 4.65
Biography: Full-time starter as a senior and responded with career numbers of 155/540/4. Also had 15 receptions for 108 receiving yards.

Positives: Hard-charging interior runner who picks up the difficult yardage. He is resilient, runs north-south, and keeps his feet moving on contact. Displays the agility to turn the corner, patient and waits for blocks develop. Displays a burst through the hole and quickly adjusts off the initial hit, and then immediately gets back to playing form. Adequate receiver out of the backfield and display soft hands. Effectively picks up blocking assignments.

Negatives: Lacks overall quickness and possesses just a short burst of speed. Does not create yardage or elude defenders. Marginally productive until his senior season.

Analysis: Threat?s marginal size/speed numbers gives him limited upside yet he does enough things well as he ball-carrier, pass catcher, and blocker that he could catch on as a teams fourth back.

Projection: FA
