A downhill, north-south runner, Ball's optimal scheme fit is a zone-blocking scheme that emphasizes single-cut reads and sustained blocks.
Ball projects as a rotational back in his rookie season, with the potential to develop into a reliable, short-yardage and goal-line specialist.
A scheme heavily reliant on outside zone runs and requiring frequent lateral agility would diminish Ball's effectiveness.
Ball's skill set, while solid, is best maximized in a straightforward zone-blocking system where his vision and decisiveness can shine rather than his athletic limitations be exposed.
Selected #58 overall in Round 2 of the 2013 NFL Draft by Denver Broncos out of Wisconsin.
