Here's a name to file away as a cheap Vereen type replacement:

He's from Southern Illinois and that 6.62 3-cone and 3.89 shuttle are interesting.
And from NFL.com:
"ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Explosive off the snap and gets into high gear quickly. Shows noticeable acceleration after the handoff and tears through the line of scrimmage at high speed. Has the juice to get to the corner and turn it. Can sink hips and make sharp cuts on wide-flowing runs. Shows no hesitation to hit it hard between tackles. Makes changes to the course of his run on the fly. Very capable pass-catcher with instant "go" after catch. Can make defenders miss on second level. Determined to find positive yards with each downhill attempt.
WEAKNESSES
Despite his compact frame, won't move too many piles after contact and can be felled by a single tackler if squared up. Shows impatience as a runner. Needs to improve run tempo and learn when it's time to shift gears rather than relying on hard-charging approach. Gets excited to make cuts and fails to press the line of scrimmage for as long as he should when setting up cutback lanes. Tiny catch radius forces quarterbacks to be extremely accurate with throws.
NFL COMPARISON
Brandon Oliver
BOTTOM LINE
Mighty-mite runner with a fearless approach to running inside. Has the acceleration and foot quickness to threaten defenses to the perimeter. Agnew will have to improve his ball security and show that he's big enough to stand up to NFL defenders. However, his toughness and talent as a pass-catcher will pair nicely with his acceleration through the line of scrimmage for teams looking for a change-of-pace backup with the ability to inject energy into a drive."
He's also the son of former Patriot, Giant and Ram Ray Agnew. I believe he has a brother at the Cowboys too.
Malcolm Agnew's Pro Day #'s: 5'9-1/8" 203lbs, 4.51 40, 3.89 shuttle, 6.62 3-cone, 36.5" Vertical, 10'10" Broad Jump. Ameer Abdullah-lite.
