Normally, I don't put much stock into ProFootballFocus, but that's gonna change for this one post because of this one tweet.

The stat I was most impressed with (and I can't find it it picture form right now) is his percentage of runs with a stalked box in all of college football, I believe it 75% higher than Wisconsin Taylor who was in second. I believe Dillion was 44% and Taylor was around 25%.
But I think these will do
I don't think he'll be able to shake or out run guys nearly as easily in the pros, as he's not elite quickness or speed, but he's good enough at both and this scheme will find him ways to get him on one on ones, which he really didn't get as many as.other RBs,as they kept stacking the box against him, with a better passing attack, they can't do that.
