Shows good patience to wait for blocks to develop, shuffling and using stutter-steps to find lanes. Shows decisiveness once he gets going, with sharp cuts and some burst through the hole. Weaves through congestion better than anticipated for a big back, showing impressive flexibility and balance. Runs behind his pads and punishes defenders, showing the ability to barrel into congestion and grind out tough yardage between the tackles. Very difficult to bring down with arm tackles. Has good leg drive after contact to maximize yardage.

Diagnoses well from zone and can transition quickly to planting and driving on a spot. Has some explosive movement skills to carry backs and tight ends into the flats.

Able to get out in space or to the second level and successfully engage opponents. Does a nice job of playing within his frame in the run game.

Can locate the ball through traffic and outmuscle his opponent. Tracks the ball over his shoulder with full control and steady eyes.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6590fc5bd93f4"} /-->
