Started 15 games in his career. Strong senior year. Good inside vision and leg drive. Plays in a spread offense. A downhill banger. Quick through the hole. Finishes his runs driving for extra yards. More of an upright runner, but does show some body lean on toss sweeps. Breaks arm tackles. Runs with some violence. Good contact balance. A north/south runner. Good eye-hand coordination. Lines up as a wide receiver at times. Soft hands. Will reach and extend for ball. Has the ability to find and hit a crease and cut in the hole. Just an average back before 2010 when a coaching staff change helped him break out as a runner and receiver. For complete report see Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft.
