Strengths
  • Improving patience as a runner, following pulling guards, and makes good decisions on his cut.
  • Doesn't possess elite breakaway speed, but is fast enough to gain yardage in chunks when he finds a seam.
  • Not truly explosive, but possesses enough speed to beat linebacker to the edge.
  • A patient runner with good vision and burst for the cutback. Squares his shoulders and can knock the defender back onto his heels. Good leg drive and forward lean to gain extra yardage after contact.
  • Difficult to bring down one-on-one in space, regularly sidesteps would-be tacklers and uses offhand to use oncoming defenders' momentum against them without slowing down significantly.
  • Is an excellent pass blocker - used extensively as a pass protector in college
  • Versitile - recruited as a linebacker, and has played running back, fullback, and a big contributor on special teams
  • Very good hands - soft and reliable and could easily become a security blanket for pro QBs
  • An incredibly physical ballcarrier who rarely goes down to initial contact.
  • Fights for extra yardage and is reliable in short-yardage situations.
  • At Perdue's pro day demonstrated impressive athleticism with a 4.57 40 at 230 lbs and 31 reps on the bench
  • Was mainly used as a regular runni9ng back at Perdue but projects to full back in the NFL
Weaknesses
  • Suffered a lower-body (broke his fibula) injury in 2021 - will need to check out medically
  • Hasn't had the experience you would look for as a fullback - having mainly played as a running back. Was underused as a ball carrier

*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.
