Probably not. I've had issue with that kid since his Freshman year at Miami. Tons of talent, lots of speed, but he's a dancer. Always has been.
That stuff doesn't work well in college and it certainly doesn't work in the NFL. At Killian he had massive holes open up on the line and he launched like a rocket. Now he's waiting in the backfield for holes to open up so that he can spring and it's just not going to happen. He needs to learn how to follow his blockers. If he hasn't learned it by now, I don't think he will.
That probably explains why he at what 210-220 last season? Couldn't break tackles. He never really had to considering the lanes he's had at Killian and sometimes at UM. Also, how is it possible for a starting NFL RBs to have such terrible hands? Heck how is it possible for any player on the field to have less than average catching skills? Especially, when you consider the amount of time they put into it?
