Feel like I'm watching Giannis Antetokounpo scouting reports. Grainy ass film with nobody in the stands and one guy making everyone else look like children playing a man's game.
Put on the clips from the Army game. It's tough to get a good read because Army just completely outmatches Fordham in every respect, but you can see that speed and quickness on display. When he can bounce outside with some space, he does some damage. He also runs good routes, catches everything thrown to him, and seems willing in pass pro. Whiffs on one block that causes a sack but picks up a couple blitzers and stones them to allow the QB to make a throw.
That said, he runs a bit upright with the ball for my liking and seems to be looking to bounce outside all the time. I don't know how much he likes contact. Also, with almost a thousand carries in college and with leg injuries limiting his senior year, that sort of abuse is a bit of a red flag for me.
Running style with the short-area burst and lateral quickness reminds me of Devonta Freeman. But he tapdances a bit waiting for the home run like... well, he gives me a bit of a Laurence Maroney vibe. Still, I like him as a lottery ticket and would be interested to see what he could do behind an NFL offensive line. The running back class is so deep though that I wouldn't touch him until the late rounds. Should at least have an NFL future as a special teamer.
