| A solid ball carrier with no single outstanding aspect to his game, Walker projects as a third-down/situational runner at the next level. Would have been better off staying in school for another season, and is likely to be selected much later than he thinks. |
| Biography: |
Full-time starter the past two seasons after seeing extensive
action as a freshman. Ground totals last year were 255/1,267/7, with
56/391/1 catching the ball. Rushed for 1,196 as a sophomore and added
43 receptions.
Pos:
Quick, patient runner who works best on the inside. Waits for
blocks to develop, finds the cutback lanes and runs through the hole
with authority. Follows blocks anywhere on the field, possesses a
burst of speed and makes defenders miss in a small area. Terrific
receiver who extends or adjusts to make the reception away from his
frame.
Neg:
Not overly creative or elusive. Marginally strong and does not
break tackles or pick up yardage off initial contact. Gives minimal
effort as a blocker. |
