Jonathan Daniel/Allsport
|
|
|
He is another player that has had a serious knee injury in the past, and if he is healthy and gets through all the physicals, he could be an interesting late-round guy. He did play well in 1998 and appears to be healthy. He is a powerful player that runs mostly inside, and is very efficient and explosive. He has excellent balance and a good body lean, but he is not overly elusive or flashy and he is not proficient in the passing game coming out of the backfield. He is a no nonsense "what you see is what you get" type player that has produced on a high level. If he is healthy, he could be a nice complementary NFL back that could contribute, especially in short yardage.
