MarShawn Lloyd Summary:
The Positives
- Decent North/South Runner
- Has some build up speed though it takes a minute to get there
- Good patience
- Shows the potential for explosiveness
- Higher end cut moves
- Limited usage
The Negatives
- Struggles going east/west
- 90% of runs were inside zones in an offense that caused defenses to have to play pass
- On the older side
Lloyd could be the perfect complementary back for an offense looking for a between the tackles runner. He has good enough vision and a decent burst cut combo to make defenders miss. You should not expect him to take outside carries too much as he struggles to cut upfield when moving east to west. He is a high end RB2 that can become more. However his age means he will have to develop faster than others to reach RB1 status.
