02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Seattle Seahawks' ground game typically blended various power and zone blocking schemes, emphasizing physical, downhill runners who could also contribute in the passing game.

One-cut runner3rd-down backReceiving back
Best role

Initially a change-of-pace receiving back with the potential to develop into a lead back in a zone-heavy scheme.

Wrong fit

A traditional run-heavy, power-gap blocking scheme that demands constant inside runs between the tackles.

A versatile back best utilized in a system that can exploit his receiving skills and straight-line speed.

04The evaluation

Selected #90 overall in Round 3 of the 2016 NFL Draft by Seattle Seahawks out of Notre Dame.
