| Scouting Report | Potential |
| By the time he wraps up his career, his inside running skills could be legendary. If he lives up to the hype, he could have the breakaway speed to bust games wide open. Should develop into a fantastic blocker. With a little more work in the weight room, he should become very good at slipping tackles. |
