is a nightmare with the ball in his hands and a problem when he doesn’t have it. As a running back, he’s lightning in a bottle — explosive, shifty, and gone before the defense even figures out where he went. His speed isn’t just fast — it’s scary. He hits the edge and it’s over. But don’t box him in — he’s a true three-phase weapon. You need a spark? Put him back on kick or punt return and just sit back. He’s got that field vision, that one-cut burst, and the type of top-end speed that makes the crowd stand up the second he touches it. Then flip the script — throw him at nickel on defense, and he becomes a heat-seeking missile. He’s covering slot receivers, stuffing bubble screens, and blitzing off the edge like he’s shot out of a cannon.
What separates him is how natural it all looks. He doesn’t just play football — he understands it. He reads blocks as a runner, lanes as a returner, and formations as a defender. He’s got instincts, physicality, and a motor that doesn’t stop. He’s the kind of player who flips a game in one play — whether it’s a 70-yard house call or a momentum-killing tackle in space. Offense, defense, special teams — it doesn’t matter. He’s a weapon in all three phases. If he stays on this track, keeps that hunger and that edge, there won’t be many names more talked about in the next few years. This ain’t just potential — this is next up.
