Clint Ratkovich RB Western Illinois Draft Profile

Strengths

• Solid receiver in the flat, capable of running through tackles on the edge to move the chains. Flexible enough to catch passes thrown behind him.
• Fights for extra yardage and is reliable in short-yardage situations.

Weaknesses

• Lacks a true burst through the hole and elite speed to break away or get to the corner against NFL defenses.
• Poor acceleration and takes too long to get up to full speed - a slow starter with little burst.
• Too hesitant when the hole isn't there and wastes time running laterally. Tight-hipped and doesn't show much wiggle or open-field shiftiness. Stops his feet too quickly and needs to consistently keep his legs moving through contact.
• May not break away from NFL defenders. Has had fumbling issues and doesn't shift the ball to outside arm.
• Not overly physical for his size and won't run over defenders - doesn't break enough tackles.
