Summary Performed more as one-back in Purdue's wide open passing attack in 1997. Has good versatility because of experience in one-back offense and could settle in at FB on NFL level, although he doesn't have perfect size. He has good FB speed and decent niftiness and adjust in the open field as a runner. He catches the ball well out of the back field and has some open field skills. He must improve his blocking, although the effort is good, he lacks explosiveness or a lot of experience...his versatility will give him a good shot. His versatility and experience in the passing game will give him a shot to stick with an NFL team as a 4th or 5th RB.
