Graded Runningback Traits:

  • Ball Security: 9/10 (Only one fumble this year and a couple last year)
  • Blocking: 6/10 (He has the frame for it but was just not asked to do it a ton)
  • Burst: 7/10 (His burst is good but not great. He uses a patient approach but does not accelerate or get to top gear as fast as you want but still fast for his size)
  • Change of Direction: 6/10 (He does not stop on a dime but he also can change direction and bounce runs to the outside)
  • Durability: 6/10 (Hard to project. Sprained MCL vs Michigan and very little usage before this season. Hard to guess how he will hold up over a full NFL season)
  • Elusiveness: 6/10 (He is is most effective as a one cut style back but also does deploy a spin move and secondary jukes if needed)
  • Pass Catching: 5/10 (Really not featured in this part of the game besides some screens although his hands are not a liability)
  • Power: 5/10 (A big framed back who does not use the size as much as you would think but still should have some power at the next level)
  • Speed: 7/10 (He takes a little bit to get there but he does have breakaway speed)
  • Vision: 7/10 ( He has very good vision and seems to know when to be patient and when to accelerate

Prospect Grade: 64/100; 64% (Starter Potential)

Projected Draft Day: 2

Player Comparison: Gus Edwards

Player Summary:

Kendre Miller displays a good feel for the position. He has pretty good speed and burst, along with a use of patience, jukes, and power to get yards. We would not call him elite in any one area, but he can be an early down back who can be a homerun threat, while letting someone else in the room be the pass catcher
