This dude is going to rock.
I have watched most of his games (his touches)......dude.....this guy is going to be fine in the NFL. I don't think he is an instinctual runner, this dude is a thinker.
If he struggles in the NFL, it is going to be indecisiveness at the snap....a lack of trust that the hole will open when and were he expected it to. Everything past that this guy has. I would say the dude is at least a 7 of 10 for finding his blocks and letting his block..well...block. I would say the dudes Vision is at least a 7 out of 10 as well...the dude finds day light and exploits it. I would say the dude is at least an 8 out of 10 for that 3 to10 yard burst...when he gets in a straight line he needs two steps and he is gone.
He is not a frank gore, shot out of a cannon type back...he does not have nearly the same first step, or second step for that matter....he is much closer to Ricky Watters in that second gear acceleration, with a better 3rd gear.
