Scouting Report
The grandnephew of Super Bowl winner Matt Snell is also a running back, though not nearly as successful. He is compact and strong, but does not have the kind of elusiveness or burst that top NFL running backs own. Though he has the strength to run through arm tackles, he lacks breakaway speed and is more of a plodder who can get a few yards. Is solid on special teams.
Long Range Potential: Solid depth running back and special teams player.
