He is a smallish back that gets by on quickness and elusiveness, but there is a "drop off" between Zereoue and the top two. He is an excellent runner in space and has great change of direction, open field moves and he has been described as a very creative runner with good vision. Although he is short, he is powerfully built and has deceiving strength and power. He has a low center of gravity and shows the ability to make good cuts and decisions in the open field. He has good intangibles, works hard to finish plays and really approaches the game with a lot of enthusiasm, but he does lack great speed and size. He is probably not the type of back that can be a workhorse and give you 30+ carries a game and he is not a great inside runner, although he is willing. He lacks a lot of experience in the passing game, so doesn't really fit into a nickel back type role. He will make a NFL roster because of his toughness and overall run skills, but he is not a franchise type player.
