Although he lacks great size, he gets the most out of his talent. He is a very nifty runner with excellent speed and explosiveness. He really looks quick "in person" and he shows some nice burst and acceleration through the hole. He is another guy that is effective in the open field, can make people miss and he is somewhat of a "darter" type back. He may be willing, but he is not an overly effective inside runner and will probably not be able to take the pounding as an every down back. He is somewhat limited in the passing game in terms of experience and overall skills and that makes him a question mark as a third down nickel type RB. He is another one of these players that could be a solid backup RB and give a NFL team 10-15 carries a game while performing on special teams.
