Running Back 

Film grade:

97th percentile (RB1)
Archetype & Tier: 

Tier S -- Offensive cornerstone of an organization

Realm or Range comparison:​
Within the realm of Maurice Jones-Drew with the run stamina of Marshawn Lynch

In-game MPH:

21.70mph

Film Notes & Movement analysis: 

  • Controlled, yet dramatic movement signature with precision both in-gap & downfield.

  • Run stamina is at the level of Marshawn Lynch, never thought I would say that about any back.

  • Cognitive skillset is high-end starter caliber. Excellent diagnosis of defensive run fit.

  • Has a clear understanding of how defenses are going to play him. Attacks weaknesses down to down.

  • Versatile pass catcher with a wide-ranging skill set from timing patterns to wheel routes.

  • Offers a significant threat as a receiver on all three levels. 

  • Through contact skills are blue chip & multi-dimensional. Defenders have trouble in closed arenas due to his quickness & play strength - capabilities as an accelerator surprise defenders in open arenas. 

  • Has a knack for being just as effective in the first quarter as he is late in games.

  • Pass protection is in the "needs work" category. Late to his base - play strength is a plus, but technique is in developmental phase.

Realm or Range comparison​:

Within the realm of Breece Hall with greater consistency in pass protection.

In-game MPH:

22.30mph

Film Notes & Movement Analysis: 

  • Strict, linear-driven movement signature that requires momentum to have consistent success.

  • Excellent blocker with high-level play strength & aggression. Can perform as both a lead blocker, as well as an asset in protection. 

  • Anchors well - Initiates often - Wins leverage battles with bigger defenders.

  • Extremely abrupt accelerator with high-end flashes. 

  • Top-end speed is reminiscent of Breece Hall. Pull away gears from nearly any defender. Highest velocity in this cycle.

  •  Diagnosis of space closures/openings is one of the more advanced parts of his game.

  • High-level marriage of his internal clock & tendencies as an accelerator.

  • Down-to-down effort is always consistent - needs greater urgency operating with has pads to reach ceiling as a runner. 

  • Needs to attack defenders when downhill with greater efficiency.

  • Has no lateral “out” to his game. Can struggle with pathways require a multi-dimensional approach. 

  • Isn’t going to make high-degree of difficulty maneuvers to create yards or turn dead plays into explosives.

  • Has difficulty escaping tight creases due to limited lateral toolbox.

  • Not an expansive battery of skills as a receiver, but is a threat on wheel routes & in the screen game with his use of pace & play speed threat.

In-game MPH:

19.80mph

Film Notes & Movement Analysis:

  • Dramatic, contact-hungry movement signature that thrives during contact-led engagements.

  • Energy giving, life-injecting player. 

  • Absolutely infectious demeanor, and physicality - revives dead drives. 

  • Below average top-end speed, but slightly above average during initial acceleration.

  • Can really hammer second-level defenders by surprising them with how quickly he arrives.

  • Can look out of sorts when contact isn't present on a given down - "needs & seeks" a defender. 

  • Has that Montgomery "never say die" about him - blessing & a curse. 

  • Through contact skillset is blue chip and wide-ranging.

  •  Lower limb dexterity is wildly impressive for his weight. 

  • Extremely poor in pass protection from a technique perspective - needs to grow here to earn higher snap shares.

  • Skillset as a receiver is extremely broad and provides security to an offensive as a secondary playmaker in a passing attack. 

  • Has shown the ability to be Quarterback-friendly on scramble drills.

Realm or Range comparison​:

Within the realm of James Robinson with more impactful traits as an accelerator.

In-game MPH:

21.50mph

Film Notes & Movement Analysis: 

  • Dramatic mover with an inconsistent signature of precision & force.

  • Willing & able blocker who exhibits great control of defenders with a need of greater consistency. 

  • Better accelerator than anticipated, who surprises at the 2nd level. 

  • Upper percentile in a curvilinear fashion for his build. 

  • Top-end speed is starter caliber. 

  • As a receiver, he is a poor route salesman with greater impact as an outlet & screen option. 

  • Burrow mechanic is sound & effective in short yardage & on plays where contact is near line of scrimmage.

  • Quiet feet - efficient use of slalom steps to slide gap to gap. 

  • Can have trouble with processing at level 2.

  • Plays "too fast" at higher velocities - can't process as quickly as he's moving - can lead to yards left on the field. 

  • Best “penetration” based back in this cycle with tools to create hidden yards when contacted behind the line of scrimmage. 

  • Invites contact in an odd way. Takes unorthodox hits that aren't necessary. Expected more from his build. 

  • Makes the first man pay for the attempt when squaring up defenders - if he can learn to control engagements with efficient pad mechanics, he is going to be an absolute chore to bring down. 

  • Enjoy the combination of urgency & patience when blocking is clean, but can struggle when picture is muddy. 

  • + decelerator for a stout back. 

  • Overall control is lacking, but the "high" moments are upper-tier starter caliber.

In-game MPH:

20.60mph

Film Notes & Movement Analysis: 

  • Erratic, aggressive movement signature that can be overly reliant on contact-led engagements. 

  • Not a sound mover when it comes to varying tempo & pace during runs. Has the requisite tools, but isn't stylistically his choice.

  • Abrupt accelerator who is starter caliber in a linear fashion - can struggle to work curvilinearly. 

  • Tendency to hit the highest gear first, then create solutions through contact.

  • Liked his movement solutions better at Ole Miss than at Ohio State. Role changed & didn't see the down after down opportunity with Henderson as a running mate.

  • Almost needs to be in the flow of the game to perceptually slow down the 2nd level. 

  • Best stiff-arm in cycle. Signature move that can punish or re-direct defenders regularly. 

  • Bully though contact - who invites it.

  • Balance is better when he initiates then when he receives contact.

  • Good single-step plant & cut ability that lacks an expansive lateral skill set.

  • Average receiver, lacking the throttle capabilities to mature into timing-based patterns.

In-game MPH:

22.10mph

Film Notes & Movement Analysis

  • Unstable, erratic movement signature with moments of eye-popping athleticism. 

  • Natural curvilinear accelerator, with the capability to win the edge on almost any defender.

  • Top-end speed is upper-tier starter caliber. 

  • Tools as a mover are erratic, and lack stability. This works collegiately due to his explosiveness - needs to be refined at the next level. 

  • Overreliant on pivoting through contact - gets stuck in wrap attempts because of it. 

  • Poor overall through contact skills - good effort, but in the "infancy" stage of contact understanding. 

  • Shows an advanced skillset when it comes to tracking path & pulling in contested opportunities. 

  • Legitimate threat detached from the formation. Good route runner with advanced leverage understanding. 

  • Best receiving back in this cycle - his work at Miami in the slot shows up in spades. 

  • Cognitive skill set is a work in progress due to position experience. - hasn’t played the position for long, so the expectation should be progressive in nature.

  • One of the higher end, athletic skill sets in this cycle with explosiveness you can’t teach. 

  • Can be a true game altering weapon in the right system.

Film Notes & Movement Analysis

  • Strict, acceleration-driven movement signature that surprises second-level defenders. 

  • Plus accelerator who can bend on curvilinear pathways to get the edge. 

  • Above adequate Top End speed - 21.3mph against Iowa State.

  • High-effort runner. 

  • Read option -- Controls the end well.

  • Above adequate sequencing & pace. Shows ability to deal with different engagement types in succession, with fluidity. 

  • Wide angular ski cuts are in his downhill toolbox. 

  • Wins mainly on the oscillation of accel & decel rather than abruptness in either. 

  • Hidden yards are there in spades.

  • Tendency to use a ‘back step’ to zoom out during LOS pressure. Won’t work at the next level. 

  • Can mature into a potential threat as a receiver, has the movement tools to outplay backers on angle/option patterns.

  • Surprises defenders at the second level when he decides to acceleration off of a single step. 

  • Average to slightly below balance post contact. Tends to "turn" out of head-up engagements. 

  • Pass protection is a work in progress - effort isn't a concern.

Realm or Range comparison​:

Within the range of Rachaad Penny & Jermar Jefferson 

In-game MPH:

20.90mph

Film notes & Movement Analysis

  • Uncreative, linear-driven movement signature that is reliant on ample space & timing. 

  • Has difficulty dealing with penetration, doesn’t have a lateral out when contacted or pressured behind the LOS. 

  • “Runway back,” who needs sound blocking for down-to-down success. 

  • When that runway is found, he has the top-end speed to hit explosives with consistency. 

  • Odd stride mechanics at high velocities - too cyclical (more of a technical nitpick then concern)

  • Adequate through direct contact, poor when it's indirect, especially low.

  • Last 7:00 minutes against Iowa State was physical, urgent - would like him to play with that more consistently.

  • Patience is a plus trait -  doesn't panic in gap.

  • Finds small opportunities for yardage. 

  • His best trait is his internal clock for zone blocking - when to accelerate, tempo down, press opens. 

  • Body catcher as a receiver. Check downs/screens - not a clean pass catcher.

  • Expected him to dominate lower-level competition through contact, but doesn't win as often as he should. 

  • Fear he will have trouble getting the corner in the NFL, as he takes an extra back step to veer laterally.

  • On pullers and kickouts - patience with those at a high rate of efficiency. 

  • Not a single career lost fumble. Reliable down to down in that respect. 

  • 80% of runs during zone - OZ specialist. 

  • Big time boom/boost prospect with wide range of career outcomes.

In-game MPH:

21.50mph

Film notes & Movement Analysis

  • Elastic, but strict movement signature that is reliant on success in initial acceleration.

  • Abrupt in deceleration & re-acceleration. 

  • One of the best first steps in this cycle - jumps on defenders & can pull away early. 

  • Top-end speed is fluid, but not overly dynamic compared to actions in acceleration. 

  • Curvilinear work is higher-end starter caliber.

  • "Bouncy" runner with good timing on cuts. 

  • Averages almost 6 yards per carry-on first down. 

  • TOUGH runner who takes a lot of big hits - some of those are due to lack of play strength. 

  • Georgia tape is some of the best in this cycle. 

  • Sound balance re-directing contact, but specifically uses pivot mechanisms when contact is imminent. Works against him at times. 

  • Doesn’t overwhelm backers or safeties through contact - if a backer wraps him up, the down is typically over. 

  • Schematically, the Vols offense is a pain to watch due to how poor #8 is at read runs.

  • Laterally,  he works well in small spaces, can get through tight creases & minimize contact spacing 

  • Not a powerful runner, gets what’s blocked.

  • Average pass catcher who offers a nice outlet option with his capabilities in initial acceleration. 

  • Multiple times on 3rd and long he’s picking up the first.

Film Notes & Movement Analysis

  • Surprisingly, nimble & explosive lateral movement signature with average linear capabilities.

  • Good pad level & positioning on initial contact - will gain additional yards with his combination of physicality & size, but won't break a ton of tackles. 

  • Offers variety & explosiveness through cuts. 

  • Slightly above average accelerator with average to slightly below top-end speed. 

  • Reliable hands as a receiver, with dextrous hand positioning at the catch point.

  • Not going to break down backers much on angle & option routes, but has the throttle control to win those engagements. 

  • Can overplay openings at times, leading to yards left on the field. 

  • Great anchor in pass protection - overall, a reliable player on all three downs. 

  • Lacking a singular, high-end skill that will keep future roster additions from taking snaps.

  • Adequate accelerator with better qualities in deceleration & re-acceleration.  

  • Below average top-end speed. 

  • Good through crease skillset with requisite timing relative to scheme. 

  • Keeps an offense on schedule - rhythm runner who thrives on higher touch counts. Helps him feel the game. 

  • Best in class pass protector, who can anchor and control engagements with ease.

  • Continually shows ability to make single-step plants & cuts in both open/closed arenas.

  • Surprisingly uninspiring as a pass catcher, I wish his movement tools would show up more on timing patterns in the pass game.

  • Played in a Read-run offense, could benefit him at the next level. Teams like the Ravens, Commanders, Jets come to mind.

  • Slightly above average in both initial & early acceleration with the ability to win the edge on backers. 

  • Top-end speed is average to slightly above.

  • Not as dynamic as his older brother, Travis in terms of play speed, but exhibits a broad toolbox as a mover & greater control in closed areas. 

  • Plus traits in game management down to down. Doesn't make many mistakes in gap - keeps an offensive ahead of the sticks & on schedule. 

  • Good not, great through contact tools. Won’t break through heavy contact, but also won’t get taken down by weaker in-direct engagements.

  • Slightly below average in initial acceleration & top-end speed. 

  • His diagnosis of 2nd level engagements makes up for play speed. 

  • Calm feet behind LOS - starter caliber combination on pace & urgency.

  • Sound decision-maker who rarely sees negative plays. 

  • 2nd level effort is outstanding. Out wills backers & safeties for extra yardage. 

  • Upright runner with difficulty quickly dropping pad level to win direct engagements. 

  • Below average lateral skillset with no "out" when multi-planar movement is needed. 

  • Below average skill set as a receiver, but provides value as a secondary screen receiver with his run tempo.

Within the range of Najee Harris & D'Onte Foreman

Film Notes & Movement Analysis

  • Patient, but powerful movement signature with less urgency than needed at times. 

  • Surprisingly nimble non-linear athlete.

  • Below average in initial acceleration - similar to Najee Harris here. 

  • Top-end speed is close to starter caliber - takes him awhile to accelerate up to higher velocities. 

  • Watch his 23' tape to get a better sense of his upside. Oklahoma State's blocking , and play calling in 24' was some of the worst in college football. 

  • Rhythm runner, stays in play frame/scope. 

  • Needs touches to get going.

  • Struggles on early outside engagements from backers, can’t match downhill pursuit with initial acceleration.

  • Likes to cut block instead of face defenders head up in pass protection. Requisite effort & understanding of leverage. 

  • Leaves feet too much on 2nd level engagements - would like him to be more direct with defenders in terms of contact. 

  • Interesting cognitive skillset at the 3rd level - extremely sound decision maker who the game slows down for. 

  • Effective outlet option with good pace & tempo in the screen game.

Film Notes & Movement Analysis

  • Effortless gliding movement signature that sneaks up on defenders, but doesn't have the engine to initiate & win contact battles. 

  • Abrupt in initial acceleration. 

  • High-end upper velocity - will rarely ever get beat in a footrace. 

  • Doesn’t provide a large through contact skill set.

  • Poor play strength with reserve-level contact balance. 

  • Can’t peel through wraps & get tripped up by in-direct contact 

  • 7 fumbles on 270 career touches is a major area of concern.

  • Easy receiver with the hands to be a factor on away-from-frame receptions.

  • Angle & option routes, arrow concepts, screen game - all in his wheelhouse of upper-tier capabilities. 

  • Can line up detached from the formation & have success in empty. 

  • 16% in the slot (largest % in this cycle)

  • Developmentally, one of the higher ceiling prospects due to age & untapped tools as a mover.

Film Notes & Movement Analysis

  • Linear-driven movement signature with high-end moments in initial acceleration with reserve quality down to down control. 

  • Abruptness in initial acceleration is extremely impressive. 

  • Through contact skill set is starter quality during initial & early acceleration. If momentum isn't present, he cannot create yards consistently.

  • Above average play strength.

  • Sound in pass protection with a strong base. Initiates with proper aggression. 

  • Fumble rate is alarmingly high. 10 fumbles on 406 career touches. Classic "Ability vs Reliability argument"

  • Cognitive skill set can be poor at both the line of scrimmage as well as at the 2nd level. Does not process as fast as he plays. 

  • Average receiver with a poor lateral toolbox - won't be an option on timing patterns. 

  • If he can understand how to press, and manipulate outside zone with greater consistency then he can be a short term starter with annual explosive upside.

  • Not a hidden yards back, play strength is below average and it shows up in short yardage situations. 

  • Enjoy watching his skillset as a mover at the 2nd level. Continually does a nice job setting up defenders by varying tempo. 

  • Slightly below-average receiver due to inconsistent hand positioning - movement skills are there to develop this. 

  • Tendency to chop at defenders in pass protection, play strength being reserve level may be part of that.
