<li>A somewhat sidearm release; seems to get into a rhythm when in play action; want to see him trigger lower half to get ball into tight windows on intermediate routes; settled feet will lead to better placement and YAC for his receivers</li>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Power as a runner who has one clear speed; cannot tackle him high, you will roll off of him, you must form tackle; runs high and mostly int he box; can shift hips effectively enough to get through open holes; keeps feet going and bounces off of defenders; flows to the edge and sets it hard when defending; reads can be quicker, but makes up for it with his physical nature; runs through gaps at full speed</li>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Grabs cloth to control opponent; decent pad level off the snap of the ball; needs to get his butt up a bit more in his stance to create more fluidity in his movement; gets to second level very well; used as a Y-out in passing downs; needs to get hands inside/refit them as well as work his feet when blocking</li>

<li>Tall and uses his long arms to his advantage when stiff arming; makes up a lot of ground with his strides from long legs; uses hands to grab the ball out of mid-air; can adjust to make acrobatic grabs when falling down or tracking a tipped ball; very raw, but physically he is there; situation awareness (running routes to the sticks, put an out-of-bounds fade on his film) are areas to grow</li>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>Used often as a check-down and in the screen game; does not sink hips when changing direction or cutting, but can make over pursuing defenders miss; can out-maneuver the first two defenders at times; punter who booted it 60 yards in the air on one kick; can jump cut to make settled, non-attacking defenders miss; fluid runner who is good when hit in stride</li>
