Prospect Comparison:.

Chad is a potential difference maker. He is a jack of all trades and reminds us a lot of a young Eric Metcalf. He possesses all the movement skills you want on defense as a running back, linebacker or safety prospect, but he is such a playmaker with the ball in his hands that college coaches will be tempted to keep him on offense. He has excellent athletic ability, body control and change of direction. He shows great foot quickness, initial burst and lateral mobility. He has outstanding vision and can see the hole. He has excellent anticipation and judges where blocks are coming from in order to make the right cut. He wastes little time getting to the hole. Chad is a zone, cut-back runner who has very good balance and does not go down with an arm tackle. He will make you miss and runs a lot bigger than his size. He is a tough runner who will lower his shoulder on contact. He always keeps his feet moving and will pick up the tough yards after contact. As a receiver, he has big-play ability and can take a short gain and turn it into a long one. He has the ability to beat man-to-man coverage with his quickness and explosiveness. He has outstanding hands and focus and will make plays in traffic. Extends and plucks effortlessly. He can change field position in a hurry as a punt and kick returner and is very decisive when he sees the seam. He is all over the place on defense and is a natural playmaker. Knows where the ball is going, keys on quarterbacks and shows great instincts and anticipation in pass coverage. Is a sound, reliable tackler and hitter. Chad is as fast as he needs to be. He can accelerate on both sides of the ball and is a sparkplug at just about any spot he lines up at. LOOK OUT COACHES...
