| Scouting Report | Potential |
| His inside running game could develop into something really special. Has a good burst which many feel will eventually turn him into a dynamite outside runner. As he learns his responsibilites, he should be adept at protecting the quarterback. When he doesn't have to think about each play so much, his instincts could take him to a very high level. |
