| | Player Profile | Felix Jones - Running Back
College: Arkansas
|
| Strengths | Jones is an early entrant who chalked up some gaudy yards per carry while sharing the backfield with McFadden; amazing speed and hits top speed immediately; good at making the first guy miss, has a natural slipperiness to him; quick out of his cuts with great balance; fresh legs--has under 400 touches in his 3 years of college; good at setting up his blocks and then exploding off them; has proven KR ability; runs full speed at all times, for better and worse.
|
| Weaknesses | He tends to run upright; doesn’t break many tackles; offers very little between the tackles unless the hole is big; not a natural pass catcher--he’s not bad at it, but he often fights the ball into his possession; slightly built which is not a good trait for a guy who runs so high in his stride; nothing more than a cut blocker; did most of his damage while on the field with McFadden, who commanded more attention from the defense.
