02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Scheme-versatile power-run back with the contact balance to survive runs without perfect blocking and the quickness to succeed in interior and exterior schemes.
One-cut backPower backGoal-line back3-down back
Best role
Year 1 starter and lead back in a run-heavy offense with the ceiling of a Pro Bowl back.
Wrong fit
Purely speed/finesse outside zone scheme where he would be asked to consistently win the edge.
Will be an attractive option for coaches who favor a physical run game as he can break tackles and gain yards after contact.
