RUNNING BACKS

J.K. Dobbins/Ohio State 5’9/209/4.40(E)/Round 1-2 2019 Stats: 301 att, 2,003 yards, 21 TD / 23 rec, 247 yards, 2 TD

Pros: A true every-down back. Tough and hard-nosed on inside runs, will lower his pad level and push piles forward. Protects the ball well through traffic. Has the breakaway speed to complement that style. A big-play back. Advanced receiver who can get to balls away from his body. Willing and more-than-able blocker. Has a nose for the end zone, finds creases and will explode through them. Cons: Gets a little tight and won’t miss contact in traffic. Needs the extra second to stop and change direction. Too much hesitation needs to be more decisive. Pro Comparison: Dalvin Cook / MIN

D’Andre Swift/Georgia 5’8/212/4.48/Round 1-2 2019 Stats: 196 att, 1,218 yards, 7 TD / 24 rec, 216 yards, 1 TD
