Stevan Ridley is a one-cut runner best suited for an inside zone or gap/duo power run scheme that prioritizes downhill physicality and short-yardage effectiveness.
Year 1 contributor in a committee for short-yardage and goal-line situations, with the ceiling to develop into a primary early-down back specializing in power runs.
Spread RPO or outside zone systems that require exceptional burst and lateral agility to create big plays in space.
His physical style and ability to break tackles make him a strong fit for schemes that value tough, no-nonsense running.
Selected #73 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by New England Patriots out of LSU.
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.
