Rhamondre Stevenson - Running Back Oklahoma Sooners 2021 NFL Draft Scouting Report
RHAMONDRE STEVENSON | Oklahoma | RB | #29 | SR | 5116 | 246 | 4.54e | Las Vegas, NV | Centennial
Overview:
Continuing the trend of talented downhill runners in the Sooners’ backfield, Stevenson is a powerfully built runner who could easily be mistaken as a linebacker on the field. Serving as a part-time ball-carrier, Stevenson put some impressive chunk plays on film, leading to an outstanding 8.0 yards-per-carry average on 64 carries in 2019. After returning from suspension in 2020, Stevenson received a bulk of the carries for the first time in his Sooners career. Stevenson is your quintessential power runner who breaks a ton of tackles while creating a significant amount of yardage after contact. When Stevenson is able to break the second level, he has a little more straight-line speed anticipated. Tight-hipped with limited wiggle, Stevenson has an underwhelming change of direction ability, lacking the talent to make players miss on the second level and in space. He also has almost no impact in the passing game, which seriously limits his effectiveness on the next level, fitting him into mostly a niche role. In a perfect world, Stevenson’s physicality may make him a strong candidate for a backfield by committee approach. From there, his development will speak to his long-term fit from a macro level.
