What the analysts are saying

  • "Scarbrough can be a runaway locomotive, but he needs a long track to get rolling or his effectiveness will drop sharply. Scarbrough won't make tacklers miss, but he is a brute force who can add yardage to the end of runs." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
  • "If teams are confident in his health, Scarbrough is likely to earn a Day Two pick and an opportunity to start at the next level, projecting as a potential workhorse and at minimum serving as an effective short-yardage specialist in a committee." - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
