Graded Running back Traits:

• Ball Security: 10/10 (Only had 2 fumbles in his whole college career)
• Blocking: 4/10 (He is willing, but struggles at hitting the chips when asked to help on the edge. Also can get over matched by blitzing defenders)
• Burst: 7/10 (Gets to his track speed very quickly and gets going from a stopped position quickly when running inside. A little less juice when going outside the tackles. Chooses to bounce instead of explode through at times but this can be coached)
• Change of Direction: 7/10 (Can shift momentum when getting the carry like the best of them. Sometimes he takes a couple quick steps to shift instead of planting foot and cutting. When catching passes it seems he needs to get his bearings before exploding and shifting like he does when getting the carry)
• Durability: 6/10 (Dealt with an ankle injury during final season. Can his frame hold up over a heavy workload and a full NFL season?)
• Elusiveness: 9/10 (Very slippery. Likes to use a shimmy to make defenders miss and has a nasty juke move to make defenders look silly)
• Pass Catching: 6/10 ( Despite having a decent amount of catches, he also has more drops than you want to see. He can be in this role at the next level but needs to get more sure handed)
• Power: 7/10 (Very good strength for size. Keeps legs churning through contact. He will not truck or stiff arm anyone but can push piles and get that extra yard or two)
• Speed: 7/10 (Has very good speed and can be a homerun threat. Is not top of the meter fast, but has more than enough speed to hit the big plays)
• Vision: 7/10 (does not usually make the wrong read. Sometimes finds running lanes that do not seem to be available. 

Prospect Grade: 70/100; 70% (Borderline Pro Bowl Potential)

Projected Draft Day: 2

Player Comparison: Ray Rice

Player Summary: Achane may be considered slightly undersized, and could do with adding a little bit of weight for his frame to hold up at the next level. That being said, he is extremely slippery with very good speed and a home run threat anytime he touches the football. He can impact the game in all facets including returns. He is similar to Ray Rice in play style although he admittedly is around 10 pounds lighter. He can be a factor in the rushing and receiving game
