Give him a clear seam and the ability to hit it in stride and he’ll blast through there and maybe knock the first guy he sees down in the process.
But I don’t see him picking his way down the line and making a controlled cut after he sets his blockers up or something like that. Good runner when his shoulders are square and can punish guys that aren’t ready for his speed at that size, but I don’t see a 3-down back or even a primary 1st/2nd down guy in this system.

I admittedly know little about this kid.
but watching the first highlight video Dante posted above, you can literally watch him do exactly that. You can also watch him catch passes, juke a guy out of his shoes, and run for 6-and you can watch him do it more than once.
Now, will that translate to the NFL? Who knows. You can only play the guys in front of you. But at 215 lbs. with 4.37 speed?
Remember that Veach said there would be starting RB's in the 7th round. I don't think he takes one if he sees Knile Davis.
Just saying.
