NFL analyst Lance Zierlein talked about Faison's three down ability at the next level.

"Faison is an older prospect, but he possesses the talent and toughness to succeed. He’s an instinctive runner with the size, vision and wiggle to create yards from broken tackles. He rarely rushes the action, setting up blocks and cutting off the carnage. He’s patient but unpredictable, making it hard for linebackers to square him up. His 2025 production might look average, but his tape shows NFL ability on all three downs."

The former Gamecock is described as a smooth runner that can force missed tackles and doesn't need clean blocks to make his move. According to Zierlein, Faison's other strengths include impressive vision, fights through contact with a well-balanced base, drops and drives through his pads when it’s time to finish, and a natural pass catcher capable of adjusting to the throw.

The question marks surrounding Faison's game include his age - will be a 26 year old rookie, no special teams experience, and about his break away speed. He chose not to run the forty yard dash at the combine this weekend, instead electing to do so at his pro day.

Pro Football Focus ranks Faison as the 231st player in the draft.
