Allegedly runs somewhere in the low 4.3's and looks it on film. Good plant and burst, too. Not often the long speed guys have great burst but this kid does. Looks like an incomplete, slower version of Chris Johnson. Character concerns as well. Interesting player but the pats have no need for him.

You mean because aside from Law Firm and Woodhead our stable of 30yr old backs are just fine?

i know what your saying but i think he is a replacement for thomas clayton in my eyes... just went back and looked at his carries in the dolphins game. The guy looked very slow trying to get to the edge and didn't look like he hit the line hard at all.

In saying that that kid looks very raw and in most runs i saw him trying to bust it to the outside. would have to see more tape of him and catching/blocking as well
