Strengths
- Size and strength are adequate for the physical demands faced at full back.
- Can catch the ball out of the backfield, tallying 11 receptions for 129 yards and two touchdowns as a senior.
- Aggressive and plays with no regard for personal safety. Does a good job covering the ball up in traffic (ESPN.com).
Weaknesses
- Shoulder-blocker. One-hitter. Needs to get hands involved more often in order to sustain. Doesn't run through blocks and tends to gather, then strike (NFL.com).
- More of a Jack-of-all-trades as opposed to dominating as a blocker, pass-catcher or runner.
- Sustained a significant PCL injury in 2012; knee durability could be a concern for some teams.
