Scouting Report: Strengths
- Monangai runs with violence; he’s capable of thrashing through tacklers, and Monangai has the natural balance to withstand contact.
- An excellent blocker on the outside, he also adds value in the running game.
- He’s patient in the backfield, willing to wait out his blocking and not panicking, and he consistently spots cutback lanes and takes advantage.
- Possesses quick feet and straight-line speed but doesn't have the elite burst to be a constant big-play threat. Improving patience as a runner, following pulling guards and makes good decisions on his cut.
- A small but solidly built runner, he has a scat-back skill set but is more effective between the tackles than you might expect.
- He’s extremely dangerous in the open field, showing the vision and creativity to run through entire defenses.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His speed is decent, but he’s not a home run hitter at the next level.
- Monangai isn’t going to overwhelm opposing defensive backs with speed and athleticism.
- Offers little in pass protection and poor technique cut blocking, fails to do more than slow down blitzers by laying down in front of them.
