    I've come around on this guy. He looks like he can create on his own. Maybe a little too in love with the hero play, but he's different from the RBs we have. He's not Cam Davis, but he's tough like Newton and looks a lot shiftier than he did.

    Like the way he runs. Opponents want no part of him. Some here don’t care about high school, but he was really productive. His line is pretty bad in the film too. Competition looks really bad too even tho it’s Texas.

    The lack of top end speed is a little concerning, but I think he has a good feel and runs behind his pads with power. RB isn’t a position to get too caught up on measurables. He’s not electric like Bijan Robinson, but I see a productive RB that I think could be very good.
    Senior film looks a lot better

    Quick feet, decent vision, great balance.

    Still looks a bit awkward and slow when running.

    If he is taught the Ahmed shuffle he will be a disaster, if he runs hard like Newton he will probably be fine.

    There's my issue with this film...well the main one. Soe of those plays reminded me of playground ball when the teacher wasnt looking. We'd get brave and switch to tackle, but it would devolve into the biggest kid running around and nobody tackling him even though he was easy to catch.

    My biggest concern had always been whether or not he can get out of the backfield quick enough. His quickness does look to be improved, so I'll call that concern partially addressed.

    He's running away from contact most of the time in his highlights. It works for him now, but wont in college. Hopefully that method gets tossed right away and he accepts that his job is to grind out tough 5 yard runs, not make a bunch of cuts and reversals looking for daylight.

    I think he looks like Newton with a little better feel for reading blocks and shiftiness. Maybe Chris Carson isn’t a horrible comparison either.

    I've always liked him, but I'm doubtful he ever becomes the #1 back. I think he's a good change of pace guy who will be physical, be a great lead blocker like Lavon Coleman was, and spell the feature back on some reps. Our RB room needs another guy like that, so I'm happy we got him. Also, Bhonapha's closing has sucked, but his evaluations have generally been pretty good, and he offered this guy relatively early.
