The scouting reports I've read are kind of strange. Everyone seems to agree he's a really good runner, but I've also read that he's not that elusive, doesn't break a lot of tackles, and doesn't have breakaway speed.
From the 2 minutes of highlights I've watched, it appears he has an elite 10-15 yard burst where he blows past everyone but then he loses his stride and gets caught fairly easily.
