Jamaal Charles, RB, Texas
6'1, 200, 4.40

by Kyle Allen, 2/19/08


Strengths: A polished back that has NFL potential. Runs low, and is good at slipping tackles and making the first guy miss. Great speed, and uses it to accelerate through the gaps. Keep his feet moving, and drives ahead to get extra yards. Tough back who refuses to go down. Very shifty and has good open field moves. Good vision and very impressive cutback ability. Would do well in a zone blocking scheme.

Weaknesses: Mechanics could be a small issue. Switching hands with the ball during plays is an area for improvement, so fumbles could be a problem. Somewhat small, but his speed should make up for the lack of size. Only an adequate receiver. Possible he could only be a product of the talent that surrounded him.

Projected Round:
2

Jamaal Charles has also declared himself eligible for this year's Draft. Charles ranks very high amongst the Longhorns' all-time rushing leaders, and complements his explosive open-field rushing ability with terrific receiving skills out of the backfield. Charles has proven himself to be a feared "home-run threat" who bailed his Longhorn teammates out of very difficult predicaments/4th quarter deficits many times this past season. Good workouts leading up to the Draft would solidify Charles' status as a 1st Round pick; below-average workouts would likely land him a spot in the upper-half of Round 2.
