#33/Sewo Olonilua/RB/TCU/6’3”, 232 Lbs

The Good

-Quick, powerful feet that allows him to glide across the field
-Serious burst to his game, especially in tight quarters
-Rocked-up, well-built frame to handle heavy workload
-Change of direction skills are well above average for height and weight
-Contact balance is very impressive; footwork is arguably best in class at his position
-Possesses elusive ability that will catch defenders off guard
-Physical freak that dominated weight room at TCU; translates power and explosion to field with ease

The Bad

-Willing pass blocker but needs to develop hand usage in that area; will stun defenders with body blow, but needs to pack punch with hands
-Limited route runner out of the backfield but flashes great hands when thrown to
-A bit of a ‘tweener; some evaluators view him as a FB at the next level; where can he thrive and in what role?
