Scouting Report
The short but strong running back reads blockers and tacklers well and makes quick, effective cuts. He has to learn to avoid taking too many big hits as an insider runner. He is versatile enough to play on first and second downs, and has the pass-catching ability and blocking skills needed to be a reliable third-down back as well.
Long Range Potential: Role-playing running back with a little upside.
