He looks like a small one (5'9" 175 as noted in the first post). If he WERE to make it I think he would need to bulk up a good bit.

I love small, quick runners, but he was run down from behind several times on the video. His bio lists a 4.69 40 which is not bad. He hits the hole very, very fast and hard. He has a real talent for hitting the hole. Also, he is not afraid to take a hit. The video shows him running over some defensive backs ... generaly he went down as well, but he got the extra yard or two. A lot of upside, but I agree he needs to get stronger...and quicker. Just from the video I would think he is "on the bubble" in terms of getting a lot of solid offers, but he may be the type of kid you have to see and put through the tests to fully appreciate what he can do for you.

Growing up in Cincy during the Big Red Machine days, his name jumped off the screen to me. For most on here they see the name and either think of a subpar color commentator or a Bosox washout manager. Sad really.
