| Strengths: |
Talented runner with great balance and athletic ability. Solid production in possibly the most talented conference in all of college football. Great acceleration and makes quick cuts. Very elusive and creative in the open field because of his superior vision. Finds the hole quickly and if one isn’t there he can get skinny and run behind his blockers. A very tough player that will put his body on the line for his team. Great hands and will be a receiving threat. Besides his 40 time, he tested great at the combine and showed amazing change of direction skills with a great short shuttle. A smart player that also seems to be of high character. |
| Weaknesses: |
Well below average timed speed for an elite back. Runs slightly upright with an aggressive running style, so durability issues could arrise. Could have trouble as a blocker at the next level, but he should be able to learn better technique. May be too quick to bounce runs to the outside. Only average size for a running back. |
| Quick Hits: |
A player that will be a significant contributor as soon as he arrives, he also has a limited ceiling. Probably will never be an elite number 1 back, but he could be an excelent player if he has a solid teammate in the backfield to split carries. In high school, he helped lead his team to three state titles. Won SEC Freshman of the year in 2007 and was First-Team All-SEC in both of his years as a starter at Georgia. Majored in Housing at Georgia. |
