What the tape shows
Love his vision, patience and shiftiness. Makes you wrong if you over pursue with the ability to cut in an instant. Makes very quick and sharp cuts and sees cuts before they happen. Explosive runner who can get lost behind blockers due to his size. Size is a concern, definitely not 5'9, and goes down on first contact more than you'd like, not able to put his head down and get those tough yards when nothing else is there, has a lot of runs for no gain or very few yards, majority of his yards are made from explosives. He makes up for it by being able to make first guy miss in open field a good amount of the time as well as in the backfield. Deuce vaughn type RB, can be very effective if used correctly.
