Been watching highlights of this guy from his time at Baylor. Dude looks phenomenal. Why was he undrafted? Injuries?

I saw him ranked around 18th best RB of the draft.

I think it's a position that teams aren't exactly looking to draft. Unlike other groups you don't really need to draft a ton of them.

At 213 lb he’s not very athletic based on testing. His athletic profile is similar to that of another former Big 12 guy Chuba Hubbard

Only played RB for one season in college

Has already had 2 ACLs & and an MCL

Think he was the 3rd oldest RB with a “draftable” grade

Not the best blocker or pass catcher

More of a one cut runner

For an UDFA he’s a hell of a pick up.

I watched a few Baylor games last year to see Aranda coach and he stood out in that team.

I haven't watched any game film of him, but his production was impressive.
I've seen several people mention that pass protection and receiving are lacking. And he's been described as a 1 cut runner similar to Latavius Murray

Good assessment. No wiggle to him. If he gets to the second level, look out, but he won’t make anyone miss on his way there.

He’s equivalent to having another 5th or 6th round pick to me. He’s a good guy to throw a dart on and see if he can play in the NFL.

Is he a good receiver?

Former linebacker that turned RB. He runs very hard and can pass block.

I liked Dave and I like CFB in general. So when picking games besides LSU to watch I throw on Baylor.

Not really.

He's a RB that was asked to play LB'er toward the end of the season and did quite well there too.
