What the analysts are saying
- "Way too much dancing as off-set back. Shows distrust of the blocking plan and will void the rush track early." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
- "It is in space where Walton shines, showing simply a different level of sheer athleticism than most backs, leaving would-be tacklers grasping at air with electric jump-cuts, gravity-defying leaps and the stop-start quickness." - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
