Very fundamentally sound in all aspects of his game.

Do you need a running back who is one hand off from making a house call at any time? This guy has incredible explosiveness to pair with next-level patience as holes develop. Witt missed the end of last season because of injury, before then he was beginning to create conversations about the potential he holds. Not only can he shed off would-be tacklers, but he shows the receiver hands out of the backfield. Witt rarely goes down on first contact and punishes solo tacklers with his force or agility with whiffs.
