If the Steelers move on from Najee Harris this guy plays like a Pittsburgh Steelers

Sounds like he's on the radar.

Big back, Can he pass block, can he receive, how is his ball security?
These are a must that would have to be checked off if I am
looking for a rb.

 

I looked up his strength and weaknesses on the NFL draft network. First of all he is a converted QB who has only been a RB for 3 seasons, so he isn't polished in route running, following the block and pass blocking. What helps him being a former QB is that he has great field vision. The report said that he is a willing pass blocker and with his size can be a very effective one. He only caught 14 passes last season so he isn't very experienced at that. Also he will be 24 when the season starts and only runs a 4.60 forty. His strength is that he is a very powerful runner that is quick hitting the hole and has great field vision once he breaks through the line.

 

Yeah , definitely not a finished product but that's why he's a later round pick. We're gonna need two rb's with Harris going, and I doubt Patterson is back. He's toast.

I wouldn't be surprised if he runs a little faster than that. He has plenty of burst to be effective though.

 

This guy averaged 6.3 YPC

 

Tuten is 210 lbs and runs a 4.32! His only weakness is his pass blocking ability and has some trouble with ball security. But he is an excellent receiver out of the backfield and is a top notch kick returner. The NFL draft network said that he could be the steal of the draft on day 3.

 

I like how he doesn't hesitate a lot to get up field. Sticks his foot in the ground and gets North/South. Definitely looks like he could be a good 3rd down back/KR type guy in the league.
