Comments:
1/16/2011- vs. Baylor (replay)
1st Qtr:
12:30- Trouble shaking the tackle
11:27- Not much of a route runner and doesn't throw the block to spring his QB on a run
8:52- Has good vision and is able to work his way through traffic well
8:15- Bad job picking up the blitzer, will need lots of work
7:11- Good patience pausing just long enough for the hole to open up. Has very good running skills
2nd Qtr:
12:37- Impressive ability to just drive through tacklers. He's a grind it out, rugged RB who can handle long days between the tackles
Mikel LeShoure projects well as a full time NFL RB. He has good wiggle but not great, ideal size and strength, and a very nice ability to bounce around between the tackles. He doesn't have elite speed but has enough quicks to hurt a team if he gets free. He's a load to try to tackle and does a nice job bouncing off tackles. He is likely to come off theboard in round 2 but could sneak into late 1 if someone really likes him.
