James is a young back with a big frame and good power who doesn’t shy away from contact and will run through defenders when they get in his way. He plays with good pad level, absorbs contact well, and does a nice job keeping his legs moving to pick up extra yards. He finished the night with 142 rushing yards and 2 TDs and gave the offense a physical presence out of the backfield. For a young back with his size, I like how naturally he uses his frame as a runner.
