Stephen Hopkins:
Overview: He has a good combination of size and athletic ability. All around back who shows ability to play with and without the football.
Strengths: Big strong physical back who runs very well between the offensive tackles and has enough speed to also bounce outside. He is a willing blocker who also has a nice stiff arm. He gets many yards after contact by keeping his feet moving. He also has good initial quickness and straight line speed.

Needs Work: Not overly elusive and does not maintain speed on cuts. It would help if he got his pad level just a bit lower.

I am not overly excited about this guy. Yes he has the measurables of Minor, but then again so does Mike Cox. And I would commit harakiri if Cox ever saw the field.
ReplyDeleteKid runs standing up, isn't particularly fast, has an awesome offensive line. He'll need a lot of work, and my patience for "project" recruits is growing thin...
