I'm not sure his footwork/cuts really look good enough to be a full-time RB. I don't really know what he is. He's a good athlete, but kind of a tweener. Not tall enough to play TE. Too heavy to play WR. Not really quick/elusive enough to play RB. I think his best chance for FF value is to have TE designation, but to be used as sort of a hybrid TE/slot/RB/FB who does a little bit of everything. A few cheap catches and rushing attempts per week would go a long way.
You can look at the versatility as a positive or a negative. The NFL has probably underrated some guys like Sproles, MJD, and Tyreek in the past because of their atypical dimensions and skill set. On the other hand, they let this guy fall to the late 5th with no major character stuff and that doesn't scream optimism. I think he's a sensible gamble at his modest rookie draft ADP, but I'm skeptical of him being the next LeVeon. The Ty Montgomery comparison that someone else dropped earlier might be more apt. Both guys are good athletes, but neither really has obvious every down RB ability (IMO).
