Rob Konrad
Rick Stewart/Allsport
He is a very interesting "big back/fullback" type prospect. He is a modern "proto-type" NFL fullback because of his quickness and good overall run skills for his size. He does a nice job of the blocks and shows good quickness and run ability as an inside runner. He is nifty for his size and also shows good balance and is a load to bring down in the open field. He is also an excellent receiver for a FB and catches the ball fairly naturally on swing patterns and screens. He is a decent blocker and has enough size and toughness to become much better and more dominating. He does tend to run a little erect and he takes a lot of clean shots. Durability has been a question mark, but he may be more "unlucky" than injury prone. He fits most naturally as a one-back type that could give a NFL team a ball control offense and if he holds up physically, he could be a workhorse type player.
