Positives: Strong, durable runner (1,000+ carries from 2005-07) with more than adequate size
Keeps his feet moving in traffic, maintains low pad level to break through arm tackles
One-cut back who can plant and drive up the field
Once he's in the seam, he has a slight burst into the open
Strong running between the tackles and can also stiff-arm a defender to take the ball outside
Can spin off a defender and maintain balance to get additional yardage.
Negatives: Does not possess breakaway speed, but is more than a move-the-chains runner
Has been a somewhat productive receiver (90 receptions in four years) and can bring in the ball smoothly, but he fights the ball at times, creating hesitation that will give NFL defenders the advantage in space
Willing to block but needs to improve pass protection skills, keeping his feet and getting into the defender's pads
Ball security is an issue as well.
