| Negative |
| Does not have the size you'd prefer --- Isn't very physical --- Prefers to bounce everything outside --- Dances too much --- Won't pick up the tough yards --- Not much of a blocker --- Wasn't a workhorse in college and won't be able to carry the load in the NFL --- Durability's a concern. |

|
| Scouting By: DraftCountdown.com |
| Negative |

Just a one-year starter for the Volunteers --- Named 2nd Team All-SEC in 2009 --- Considered to be a Top 100 recruit nationally coming out of high school --- Redshirted in 2005 after tearing the ACL in his right knee --- Missed three contests, including the SEC Championship Game, with an ankle injury in 2007 --- Missed some time in 2008 due to a stress fracture in his lower leg --- Held off highly-touted freshman Bryce Brown and came through with an outstanding final campaign in Knoxville --- Saw his draft stock skyrocket in 2009 after entering the season with a late round / free agent grade --- The type who does everything well but nothing great --- Has the talent to contribute and maybe even compete for a starting job as long as he can stay healthy.

| Negative |
| Average athleticism --- Not overly quick or fast --- Isn't explosive and lacks a burst --- Doesn't change directions well --- Has trouble getting outside and turning the corner --- Not a big play threat --- Runs too tall at times --- Will not offer much as a receiver --- Never carried the load. |

A two-year starter for the Bayou Bengals --- Earned All-SEC honors in 2008 --- Ranks 4th in Tiger history in career touchdowns and 7th in career rushing yards --- Shared the workload with Alley Broussard, Justin Vincent and Jacob Hester early in his career --- Emerged as the primary ballcarrier in 2008 and 2009, although Keiland Williams also saw a fair share of the action --- Saw his senior campaign cut short by a broken collarbone --- A classic North / South type who is more about substance than style --- Should at least be a reliable backup / short-yardage guy in the NFL but could very easily compete for a starting job.
