Scouting Report Potential As he continues to learn the game, his ability to run outside the tackles could really make him stand out. If he lives up to the hype, he could have the breakaway speed to bust games wide open. His blocking skills will contribute positively to his overall game. His running instincts probably won't turn out to be much better than average.
