Evaluation:
Plays much bigger than his size indicates, in a sense. Doesn't necessarily overpower defenders but arm tackles aren't bringing this kid down. Lower half is much stronger than it was in 2022 which leads to very good contact balance. Not a top-end speed back either but is really quick out of the gate. Wastes no time making his read and getting north ripping through the first and second levels of the defense. He's a hit the hole and go type of runner, committing to his running lane early. Isn't asked to be in pass pro much, but can certainly handle it. In fact, he has pretty good technique and understanding of leverage.
