Currently ranked as a Running Back, Demetrius is a large-framed, power back out of Essex. Thick legs and build, and he has very good run strength and balance. He has good speed that gets him through the second level, but he lacks the top-end elite breakaway speed. What he lacks in top-end speed is made up for in his physicality and ability to make multiple defenders miss with his strength and size. He also plays Edge, and I would not be surprised if Edge becomes his primary position for us in the future.
