Scouting Report:

Strengths: Although a smallish back, he makes up for his size with amazing speed and an elusive style of running that has been referred to as “slippery.” If he get’s to the second level, he is going to take it to the house more often than not. Adding to his speed and elusiveness, great hands out of the backfield, makes him a perfect fit for this offense. He has often been compared to Jamaal Charles.

Weaknesses: Has missed a lot of time with injuries, a somewhat common thread amongst the Raider running backs.
