What the analysts are saying
- "Able to hit accelerator once he gets to the embankment as rusher. Good inside spin counter. Bends and flattens to quarterback." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
- "Can be washed out of the hole and late making plays vs. the run. Not shy attacking the point of attack, but won’t overpower or discard NFL blockers." - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
