This prospect is ideally suited for a zone-heavy run scheme that prioritizes quick decision-making and burst through the line of scrimmage.
As a Year 1 player, Helu could immediately contribute as a change-of-pace or third-down back, with a ceiling to develop into a productive zone scheme starter.
He would struggle to maximize his talent in a purely power-gap system that demands constant short-yardage conversions and inside bruising.
Helu's combination of size and speed, coupled with his one-cut ability, makes him a good fit for outside zone concepts where he can hit the hole quickly and gain YAC.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
