Scouting Report: Strengths
- A compact runner, Bigsby has a rare blend of balance, agility and instincts.
- Shows a surprising burst to beat linebackers to the edge. Can plant his foot in the ground and explode, showing better straight-line speed than expected.
- Bigsby finishes runs well and flashes the ability to get small and squeeze through traffic.
- He’s patient, letting blocks develop then accelerating. He runs with a good forward lean and consistently falls forward.
- Bigsby shows decent burst and straight-line speed to turn in big plays.
- 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.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Bigsby tends to get too upright at times, sacrificing power.
- His hands are good, but Bigsby doesn’t show much feel as a route runner and might not be a guy you flex out wide.
- 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.
