He can see the running lanes develop and get into those lanes as a home run threat. He carries a smaller frame that will need to continue developing for colleges to take interest. He appears able to see the holes open up and feel 1st level to 2nd level. Some runners can't do that and they're typically going to be ‘gap scheme' runners or told which hole to go through. He has the critical factors needed for an RB which are Instincts and vision.rnu003cp class=u0022p1u0022u003eA good process to LOS, ability to one-cut and get vertical, anticipates well, ability to process vision quickly.

His film lacks any clips to evaluate his blocking ability. What I like the most in his film is his ability to track the ball downfield. Catch radius. Ability to high-point the ball.
