Summary

Did not work out at the combine because of broken ribs suffered in the East-West all-star game...started his career at USC but was never academically eligible and wound up going to Junior College before going to Oregon...he played a lot as a junior and was obviously a starter as a senior...he finished 1997 rushing for 1193 yds and 8 TDs, while catching 18 passes for 2 TDs and he also excelled as a KOR...he is not a big back and does not have much power or ability to break tackles and run over defenders...he has been banged up for alot of his career and durability is a question mark...he does have some open field skills and he is a guy that create in space...he has good initial quickness the hole...he can bounce it to the outside and he has the skills to make some long runs...he does a nice job of staying on his feet and has good overall vision and COD...he could be a nice complimentary back on the NFL level and has KOR ability could certainly help him sitck on an NFL roster...he is not magical and he is not a huge asset yet in the passing game so he does not really feel a nickle role however as a return specialist and utility back, he might find a spot for himself.
