Craig is the type of production that shows a player who can impact the game in more ways than just carrying the football. Finishing with 744 rushing yards, 31 receiving yards, 226 kick return yards, 103 punt return yards, and 1,104 all-purpose yards, he proved to be a reliable weapon every time he stepped on the field.
What stands out is his ability to create value in different phases of the game. At running back, he can give the offense a spark with the ball in his hands, but his return ability adds another layer to his impact. Whether it’s setting up good field position on special teams or making plays out of the backfield, he has shown he can affect the game without needing a high volume of touches.
Craig had a productive season, rushing for 744 yards, showing he can consistently gain tough yards and make an impact on the ground. He runs with balance, vision, and determination, finding running lanes and making the most of every opportunity.
Craig stays on his feet through contact, using his strength and body control to pick up extra yards after initial hits. He can accelerate in open space, make defenders miss, and create momentum-changing plays for his team.
