Displays perhaps the best body control of RBs in the class of '09. Stays square to defense and is always over feet. Often gets hit behind the LOS but rarely gets tackled. Has incredible balance and even better instincts. Lateral movement is excellent and he gets back to full speed quickly. Has unique blend of power and top-end speed--gets tough yards in traffic and doesn't get arm-tackled; outruns angles. Total Package--Burke Hayes
