Summary

He is a little RB that plays a little bigger than his size and has pretty good AA and overall skills...he started off his career at OK.St. with a bang and was a Big 8 Newcomer of the Year in 1994...he is a guy that probably would not have entered this draft but he was academically ineligible for the 1997 season and rather than transferring to a small school and completing his career, he decided to enter the draft...he has good production as both a RB, receiver out of back field and KOR in his career...he obviously does not have the size to be a power runner but he has exc COD in the open field and he loves to bounce in outside and create in space...he has good exposure into the hole but can be consumed by defenders if they get an open shot at him...he has some pass catching skills in the open field and catches the ball fairly naturally...he actually has better quickness than speed and although he’s had his share of long runs, he’s not really a true break away threat...he will have a lot of problems on the NFL level finding a spot because he really doen’t fit as a true nickle back and he doesn’t have the blazing speed one would expect for his size...if he could flash as a KOR, he could stick as a special teams guy that could contribute in some run situations...it is a shame that he couldn’t stay in school for another year.
