He is a sleeper that is moving up the draft charts after having a good week at the Blue Gray game in December. He is a big and physical north & south type runner that has pretty good instincts and moves for a big back. While he doesn't have blazing speed, he does not have a lot of wasted motion and hits the hole with a nice burst and good overall quickness. He is not a guy that will turn the corner and he tends to run a little erect at times, but he will fight for extra yards and he will break some tackles. He is somewhat impressive in the open field and he has a huge upside. He has not been utilized much in a pro-style passing game and that may be the missing part of his game and it is a big jump from NCAT to the NFL. He is a solid developmental type guy that seems to be showing scouts and coaches that he belongs.
