STRENGTHS
A big, upright runner who glides and slashes for yards, T.J. Yeldon fits the mold of the Alabama running back. Yeldon shows good awareness and instincts and is a natural at finding rushing lanes between the tackles. He is able to create plus yardage on the go and makes quick decisions with the ball in his hands. He’s quicker than fast and light on his feet, but he finishes runs with power and has the bulk to run over defenders. Yeldon has good balance and body control and can make one cut and get upfield with burst.
