The Bengals also want to see how he handles the bright lights of big-time competition. The Bengals aren't counting on him being the opening-day starter, but stranger things have happened. Broke runs of 51 and 71 yards in 1998 with New England, the only year he has seen significant playing time. Perhaps the best open-field runner of the bunch and has good acceleration through the hole. There are some concerns about how easily he gets tackled and how well he blocks.
Size is a strength and weakness.
But he tends to be overweight often and then loses his effectiveness. Showed good receiving skills in spot duty last year, but has a long way to go as a blocker. But I want to be a more complete player, and that's saying a lot.
