Wayne put together a dominant season on the ground, racking up 1,787 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns while consistently controlling the tempo of games. He shows excellent vision and patience behind the line, allowing blocks to develop before exploding through open lanes. Once he gets downhill, he runs with power and balance, breaking arm tackles and finishing runs forward. His burst through the hole and natural feel for the end zone make him a constant threat, especially as defenses wear down over four quarters.
