Scouting Report
A freakish athlete who came up as a tight end/fullback hybrid, he has decent speed to get to the hole plus the strength to maul as a blocker and break tackles as a receiver. Brings excellent agility and footwork. His lack of arm length hurts him as both a blocker and a receiver. Does not have big hands.
Long Range Potential: Solid, versatile backup running back.
