The more I found out and watch about this guy, the more and more I like him.
He is a big, powerful back with a compact frame. Churns his legs to pick up extra yards. Not the most elusive, but is nimble enough to make the ocassional defender miss in the open field. Decisive runner, although he tends to run through the hole a little high. Very good initial pop on his blocks, has the ability to stand linebackers up. Also has natural hands catching the ball. His biggest knack is probably his health, as he seems to have had an issue with his left foot the last couple of years.
Still, I really like this guy, and I think he possesses the tools to be a feature back in the NFL. He also shows the versatility that Belichick likes in his backs, as he can catch and block.
I would be thrilled if the Patriots took him with the 58th pick.
What does everybody else think of him?
