Positives: Very quick and explosive with breakaway speed. Excellent acceleration. Very little wasted movement, attacks the defense and runs extremely hard. Makes people miss. Sharp cutter. Good vision, instincts and weave in the open field. Has a nose for the endzone. Effective receiver out of the backfield.

Negatives: Average size and power. Needs work on blitz pickup and blocking technique.

Summary: Explosive, big-play back who should do well in a rotation.
