He is another back that grows on you and while he does not possess great measurables and is not a real exciting player, he is a dependable workhorse type guy that will probably wind up as a very solid and safe pick. He has excellent overall run skills and while he is not gifted with breakaway speed, he does a great job of reading his blocks, hitting the hole with good quickness and he shows no wasted motion. He runs with surprisingly good power and fights for every yard. He is not a great open field runner and he doesn't make a lot of big plays and he is also not overly effective as a receiver out of the backfield in the passing game. His toughness, durability, instincts and character, however, make him a favorite second tier RB on a lot of NFL boards and wherever this guy is drafted, he will play in the league.
