Morris.
Louisiana Tech
A potent, one-cut runner best suited for a Shanahan-style outside zone system that prioritizes precise reads and explosive downfield acceleration.
As a rotational back in a committee approach, Morris could contribute immediately on special teams. His ceiling is a complementary starter with a definitive change-of-pace role.
Dennis Morris would be a poor fit for power-gap schemes like the Panthers or Niners, which frequently utilize downhill runs and emphasize the ability to consistently break tackles between the tackles.
Morris' blend of speed and agility makes him an attractive option for teams looking to stretch the field horizontally, but his limited power and inconsistent tackle-breaking will prevent him from being a true workhorse back.
