Smallwood shows strong first-step explosion on multiple inside handoffs in his highlights. I think his acceleration is solid through the first and second levels. Smallwood separates from linebackers quickly once he clears traffic. He has a good number of explosive plays, a few 25-plus yard runs are in his highlights.

I like his inside vision. Smallwood presses downhill decisively and consistently finds the seam to run though. He does a good job of pressing the inside before bouncing outside on a few of his runs. Like the other backs in his article, he’s a one-cut type of back.

Smallwood finishes runs with authority, multiple runs show him getting yards after contact. I’d like to see him continue to work on the top-end speed so that some of those long runs end up as touchdowns.
