  • 40:
  • Bench:
  • Vertical Jump:

  • Other Notes:

Graded Runningback Traits:

  • Ball Security: 8/10 (Only five fumbles in the last two seasons)
  • Blocking: 6/10 (He has the frame for it but we do not expect him to do this much at the NFL due to his lack of athleticism and pass catching ability)
  • Burst: 3/10 (He really only has one speed and his burst does not help him.  It is nothing special)
  • Change of Direction: 4/10 (He is extremely stiff when trying to change direction and does not do it suddenly)
  • Durability: 7/10 (He did not have any major injuries in college besides a hip problem that came up here and there. However, his running style does not seem to be one that will keep him healthy)
  • Elusiveness: 3/10 (Does not make many miss even though he does not have the worst moves in the world. 
  • Pass Catching: 5/10 (Caught his fair share of passes but did not run different routes and doubt he will at the NFL either)
  • Power: 8/10 (He earns his nickname, as he invites contact and repeatedly pushes piles)
  • Speed: 6/10 (He is not slow, but he is not overly fast either)
  • Vision: 5/10 (A north and sound runner who can change direction but struggles to see holes that are not right in front of him)

Prospect Grade: 53/100; 53% (Role Player)

Projected Draft Day: 3

Player Comparison: Malcolm Brown

Player Summary:

Tank earns his nickname as he is a powerful runner who invites contact. Unfortunately he does not have the athleticism or pass catching ability to be more than a committee back who will get some goal line carries.
