Official Bio
|
Strengths:
Has outstanding speed...Explosive with a burst...Smooth athlete...Quick and agile with good change of direction...Can get outside and turn the corner...Big play guy who is always a threat to take it the distance...Is tough and runs hard...Has great hands and is a pretty good receiver out of the backfield....Patient with good vision and instincts...Solid intangibles...Productive....Still improving and has some upside.
Weaknesses:
Is not very strong or powerful...Just an average inside runner...He goes down too easy...Isn't very elusive and does not have a lot of wiggle...Has some issues with ball security...Is not a great blocker...May be more of a situational type...Was not utilized as a return man...Durability is a concern...Basically just a one-year starter.
Notes:
Was also a prolific track star in high school and college and only recently began to focus strictly on football....Worked in a rotation early on in his career before finally assuming the full-time starting job as a junior..Really came on down the stretch in '07, including a 290 yard / 3 touchdown performance against Nebraska...Does not project as a workhorse at the next level but could excel as a change of pace type and 3rd down back...Not just a track guy and his best football is still ahead of him.
