Height: 5-10

Weight: 233

Position: RB

College: Southern California

Drafted: Pick 4 of the 7th round by Jacksonville
Analysis
Positives: Hard worker and an outstanding leader both on and off the field... Consistently productive as a third down receiver, displaying soft hands and classic arm extension going for the ball in traffic...Tough inside runner who finds a way to move the pile to get the yardage up the middle...Shows a second gear needed to break free past the line of scrimmage..Has good flexibility adjusting to get to the pass...Plays with good balance and shows good body control after initial contact...Sees the holes develop and can gain the tough yardage when the lanes are clogged by using his leg drive...Has a good burst to the outside and the ability to work back for the ball.
Negatives: Lacks ideal height...While he has the speed (4.4), he does not display explosive acceleration...More effective when used as a third-down back for the passing game...Has had a long history of injury problems, raising concerns about his durability...Willing blocker, but his hits pack little power and he frequently lunges at the ankles of defenders, making him of little use vs. the blitz...Despite his superb quickness, he does not have those sudden moves to burst around the corner and shows only adequate ability to spot the secondary holes when his main lane is clogged.
