| | Player Profile | Xavier Omon - Running Back
College: Northwest Missouri State
|
| Strengths | Powerfully built, dynamic small-school runner; epitomizes the term “power back”--between the tackles, strong legs, loves to lower the shoulder, runs thru arm tackles, definite trouble for DB's; has good vision and has flashed ability to bounce it outside; good receiver who thrived on screens; loves to block although his technique is marginal;
|
| Weaknesses | Not real quick and not very fast (upper 4.5s); bad case of fumblitis; short (5’11”) for a power back; played on a great D-II team, but the level of competition is an issue. Could be an effective short-yardage back in the manner of Chris Fuamatu-Ma’afala a few years back although he’s not that big, or perhaps a useful H-back.
