Shane Vereen, New England Patriots, 56th Pick, 2nd Round, 2011 NFL Draft


Vereen, Shane California 5102 210 4.50
Junior entry. Started 19 games over three years. Plays in a
multiple set offensive scheme. Good vision and power. In a
rotation with other backs to stay fresh. Works his way through
traffic as a bender/weaver type runner. Runs the ball at times
with a direct snap in Wildcat offense. Good contact balance.
Lacked explosiveness in the Oregon game. Looked like he signed a non-aggression pact as a blocker in pass protection. A toe cutter when he does block. A natural pass receiver with 74 catches in his career. Good adjust to a high or off target pass. Runs north and south and leaks through to the second level. Question ball security at times. Has a chance to make a team as a third down back if he improves his willingness to block. For complete report see Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft.
