02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Cincinnati Bengals employ a run-heavy, play-action oriented West Coast offense with zone and gap blocking schemes, emphasizing a strong ground game to set up passing opportunities.

Power BackEvery-down backGoal-line specialistShort-yardage
Best role

A Year 1 contributor as a rotational power back and goal-line specialist, with the ceiling to become a true bell-cow back in a power-run heavy offense.

Wrong fit

A spread-option or Air Raid offense that prioritizes speed and receiving skills over raw power and downhill running.

His size and running style are perfectly suited for the Bengals' desire to establish a physical presence in the run game, complementing their play-action passing attack.

04The evaluation

Selected #55 overall in Round 2 of the 2014 NFL Draft by Cincinnati Bengals out of LSU.
