Analysis
Positives: Has a solid frame with good muscle definition in the chest and arms...Has sudden quickness off the ball and the ability to elude defenders upfield...Catches the ball cleanly with arms extended and maintains concentration working in traffic...Has a very quick swim move in his release...Above average route runner who shows patience in the zone...Has the pick-up speed needed to turn upfield after the catch...Turns and adjusts properly to the ball in flight and has above average run-after-the-catch speed...Bends his knees properly to deliver good pop behind his blocks.
Negatives: Does not show a strong burst in his release...Adequate to face up as a blocker, but lacks the leg drive need to drive off...Tries to get a little fancy in his upfield moves and needs to spend more time trying to break tackles rather than escape them...

College: Penn State

Drafted: Pick 27 of the 1st round by Kansas City
Analysis
Positives: Powerful tackle-breaker with excellent balance, strength and agility...Runs low to the ground and shows above average hip swerve and strong leg drive...Catches the ball well coming out of the backfield, extending properly, rather than trying to body catch...Has the agility to spin away from tacklers and the power to gain yardage after initial contact...Can make defenders miss in the open with his juking moves...Displays the vision to find the seam on the move and runs with good body lean...Has the awareness to pick and slide through the holes...Maintains balance well while driving forward...Has a sharp outside burst and shows explosive acceleration around the corner...Can slide laterally with ease and securely protects the ball running through traffic...Very flexible adjusting to the ball in flight...Good special teams performer who served as the rush end.
Negatives: Gets off the ball quickly, but does not explode through the holes, as he needs time to accelerate in order to go the distance...Does not have much lateral bounce, but is an effective downhill runner who can turn the corner...Body catches, but still has reliable hands...Needs blocking technique refinement and must show more aggression in this area...Rounds his cuts in his pass routes.
