Cyrus Gray scouting report

Cyrus Gray RB Texas A&M #32
Ht: 5’10″Wt: 206  
Strengths:
Adequate size and strength. Good vision when running between the tackles; takes what’s given to him and rarely makes poor decision about where to go with the ball. Willing to take on defenders by lowering his shoulder; plays bigger than his size. Reliable hands as a receiver; caught over 30 passes in each of past two seasons and has lined up in the slot on occasion. Experienced returning kicks. Plenty of experience against top competition; three-year starter. Team leader on and off the field; praised by coaches for his work ethic and leadership.
Weaknesses:
Lacks elite quickness and agility; doesn’t have the ability to consistently avoid tackles in the open field, but also lacks the physical running ability to break tackles. Very much a North/South runner, who lacks the size to be that type of back. Lacks the speed to bounce runs to the outside; often gets caught in the backfield when trying to make something happen off the edge when the inside gaps don’t open up. Physical running style could lead to injuries considering his modest size. Already has a lot of wear and tear on his body; over 700 career touches at A&M. Missed final two games of career with stress fracture in shoulder.
Comments:
Gray was a tremendously productive runner in college as the primary starter for three years at A&M, but lacks the physical tools to be a feature back in the pros. Due to his modest speed and agility Gray has been forced to be a North/South runner, which worked for him in college, but he lacks the strength to hold up in that role at the next level. He does have the skills to contribute, however, and his ability as a receiver and on special teams will allow for him to earn a roster spot as a backup or 3rd-string running back.
