This is just my opinion based on what I've watched of him as preparation for rookie drafts as well as being a Lions fan:
He's a rocked up 6' 215
He has great combine measurables (40 inch vertical, 126 inch broad jump, 7.07 3 cone, 4.29 20 yd shuttle) and ran a 4.5 at his pro day.
He has exceptional vision and patience that really stands out when you watch him.
He runs through arm tackles and is constantly getting extra yardage.
He makes great cuts, is a decisive runner, has a decent spin move and a great stiff arm.
He's got decent pass catching skills as a running back and offers the versatility of a 3 down back.
I was worried about his 4.9 ypc in college but when I watch tape on him he was run out of the wildcat formation a lot and I'm curious what his ypc comparisons would be when in wildcat vs traditional formations.
Saquon is the gold standard as far as running backs in this class; but of all the other running backs from this class you could argue ranking Kerryon above them at this point in time and yet he is being drafted 1.07 - 1.08 in a lot of rookie drafts behind Jones, Michel, Guice, Penny, Freeman.
