Was considered to be one of the top 5 RBs in the 2016 draft class.
Pros:
- Sharp cuts.
- Maintains forward momentum through cuts/jukes/small movements.
- Does a good job finding and knifing through holes.
Cons:
- Lacks knock down power.
- Struggles in pass pro. Gets caught flat footed too often.
- Doesn't get good leg drive in direct contact (short yardage) situations.
Initial Impressions:
He ran behind a very heavy OL in Arkansas but I haven't seen enough from him to say how he would look in a zone/cut and go system. I think his running style would serve him well as a kick off returner. I say this because he likely isn't going to get a ton of work until he shores up his pass pro. I think the Titans taking him in the 3rd round makes sense. They get to use their first two picks on other positions and then take a RB that they desperately need. They can still have the others for this season until Collins gets his blocking down and for this season they upgrade their KR. McCluster can stick with the PR duties. If not Dallas a few picks later would be a good spot.
