#5 Xavier Jones VS TEMPLE (2019)

#5 Xavier Jones HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths: He is one of the most elusive and shiftiness running back, who has an excellent vision that allows him to follow his block. A great patience runner that allows his blocks to develop before blasting through the open gaps. He has a north to south run style but will get east to west in a heartbeat before redirecting himself back on route. To add to his craft, he is a powerful runner that can run through attempted arm tackles. He is a very productive receiver out of the backfield, where he is dangerous in the screen game. He is a reliable pass protector who can buy the quarterback some time under duress.
​
Weaknesses: He does not possess the high speed to accommodate his shifty and elusiveness. Oddly enough, with his moves, it appears he loses burst when changing direction. He will get himself in trouble while he tries to cut back against the grade looking to get out of danger.

Draft Projection: UDFA

NFL Comparison: Devonta Freeman
