Weight: 233

Position: RB

College: Louisiana State

Drafted: Pick 35 of the 4th round by Jacksonville
Analysis
Positives: Very physical inside runner with big thighs and thick calves...Runs with good body lean, displays solid in-line lateral quickness...Has a good feel for the defenders and knows how to avoid them in the open...Breaks tackles on contact with his leg drive...Has the agility to bounce outside and the acceleration to get the most out of his speed heading upfield...His lateral movements will generally make the initial tackler miss...Has the agility to adjust in his pass routes, adjusting and catching the ball with his hands properly extended away from his body...Has the body control to take a seam to gain extra yardage... Shows good avoidance skills running between the tackles.
Negatives: Shows inconsistencies coming off the snap, as he seems to lack that necessary sudden burst needed...Even though he has great speed for a player of his size, he rarely displays fluid hip swerve or the burst to run away from defenders after the initial hit...While effective as a receiver, he needs route definement and has to do a better job of being aware of where defenders are...Aligns and positions himself properly when blocking in pass protection, but has no focus on the job at hand...Even though he has the size of a fullback, he lacks the ability (or desire) and technique to be considered an effective lead blocker...Has a strong lower frame, but needs to dedicate time in the weight room to develop his upper body...Ball security has been a problem (fumbles).
