I have logged over 1000 days at sea and I can assure you anchors do not run well.

Go watch his career highlights. He is a legit prospect. Excellent balance, short area quickness, change of direction, and lateral movement. He's not a burner, but he plays faster than his 40 time. His 10 yard cones time was exactly the same as Mostert put up.

I gotta be honest, I disagree on almost everything. His speed is pedestrian, and I'd say he looks like a 4.7 guy, which is in line with his predraft numbers corrected for pro day. He doesn't have much elusivity, he's not crazy physical. I think his best attribute is his size and balance. In other words, I was completely underwhelmed by him as a prospect, but we'll see. I think he's an NFL caliber player, but I see no sta. I like Mitchell more because I think he has a chance to flash in the offense.

I never bother watching highlights. Any nfl prospect can jule a guy, the question is whether they can do it consistently and against nfl players. Just watch him against Nebraska. Pedestrian. He's not a guy who will outperform his blocking, as we saw in preseason

He went from playing exclusively in a power run scheme at Oklahoma to the zone system at Ohio State. Once he made that adjustment, he dominated. Just go watch his game against Northwestern, and then their game against Clemson. Film doesn't lie.

Ya I'm not exactly sold on him either so far. I just don't see what part of his game is very good. He seems to have some pretty decent vision, but besides that, I don't see any other qualities that really stick out.

I can see him having a decent NFL career as a #2 type of back, but I just really doubt he can be a good #1 back.

If you have good vision balance and power which he all has he can easily become a top back. Those type of backs though need help and need a decent to good OL. He also has good hands which was a pleasant surprise
