Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Doesn't possess elite breakaway speed, but is fast enough to gain yardage in chunks when Prince finds a seam.
  • His competitiveness and knack for high-pointing the ball allow him to play bigger than his size.
  • Prince often thrived in the screen game, transitioning upfield quickly and showing a knack for following his blocks. He has the size and strength to pass protect.
  • He’s not a burner, and he is more of a block-what’s-given runner than a guy who is going to create.
  • A downhill runner who picks up momentum as he goes and does a nice job absorbing contact between the tackles - physical with good pad level.
  • Prince has a prototypical running back build, well proportioned and thick through the lower body, and he’s at his best picking his way between the tackles with quick, choppy steps.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • A tall, upright runner who lacks great power as a runner. Not a quick-twitch athlete and is forced to gear down too much. Not very loose throughout his frame; looks tight redirecting. Will dance and leave his feet instead of taking what's there.
  • Too indecisive and hesitant at the line of scrimmage.
  • Prince isn’t slow, but Prince lacks the third gear to be a home run threat. His hands are improving but still inconsistent in the passing game.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
