He's tearing it up right now, I'm just curious as to where he's being projected to be drafted by most.

I'd say 3rd to 4th round. He's a lot like Cyrus Gray from last year. I don't think he'll fall quite as far as Gray depending on his medical. Jack of all trades master of none type that could immediately contribute as a 3rd down HB and #2 HB due to his pass blocking ability and hands. Still, has had ball security and nagging injury issues in the past.

Please don't make us google a player everytime, im lazy. Laughing

Seriously though, saying his measureables, stats, team, and position would be smart.

He was more of a day 3 until his recent coming out parties. He has the possible now of sneaking into round 3 and some are saying if he plays well the rest of the year and test out well maybe even late round 2. For now think rounds 3/4 is accurate.

He's 5-11 209 with a 4.47 40 time......

there's plenty of places to look up his stats if one wants......

I think some team takes him higher than most based on how good he is and how little wear he has on his tires. Dude is a senior that is going to get a majority of his rushes in his last year because of a crowded backfield.

He's listed at 5'11. He looks 5'9.

He isn't an every down back at the next level, in my opinion, because I haven't seen him catch the ball out of the backfield.

He's a heck of a blocker and I think he enjoys that part of the game, which you have to in the NFL.

I think he gets to the second level well. He just has average vision, and is not a tough guy to take down for the most part. Great speed and quickness for a downhill style runner, though. Problem is, I don't see him giving defenses a hard time trying to bring him down. It often only takes one man to tackle him and that's a concern.

Right now, I have him as a 5th-6th round selection. Depending on how he looks the rest of the season, and his measurables in the off-season, he might jump into that 4th round group.

Runs high, no burst, not that fast, not powerful... Good vision, though.

He can play all three downs, looks good picking up blitzers - I think he'll go pretty high in a weak class - 2nd round seems about right at the moment.

His feet are amazing. Lateral quickness is some of the best I have seen in college. 3rd-4th right now. Might sneak into the 2nd because this is his first year starting.
