Positives: Big, physical, shifty back with good vision, balance and determination. Strong. Breaks tackles. Good one-cut runner who finds daylight naturally. Has become a reliable pass receiver out of the backfield. Carries the ball high and tight.
Negatives: No truly magical qualities as a runner.
Summary: Not flashy or spectacular, but a solid, productive all-around back.
