#5 BIJAN ROBINSON
SHIFITEST HIGHLIGHTS
TEXAS LONGHORNS

strengths

• He is the best three-down running back in this NFL draft.
  
• He is a versatile back with great speed and strength, making him deadly whenever he runs the ball.
  He is a productive runner between the tackles or stretching the run outside.
  
• He is an elite back with impeccable skills as a runner and receiver.
  
• He can be a shifty dominant running back who uses his size to his advantage and is a powerful runner.
  
• He has an outstanding contact balance after the initial hit.
  
• He has great awareness as a runner and excellent vision while running the ball.
  
• He can create separation after finding space when the defense seems to have him bottled up.
  
• He is an offensive weapon as a receiver out of the backfield who can lineup at receiver and run a passing tree.
  
• He can run similar routes as a wide receiver with excellent hands and will be a matchup problem one-on-one with linebackers.
  
• He has excellent awareness as a pass protector who is unafraid to get in front of a free-running defender.
  

weakness

• He can add about ten pounds of muscle core to his frame.
  
• He is an explosive back that gets to the second level fast but lacks the homerun speed.
  
• He will need to improve in pass protection as the defenders constantly push him back into the pocket.
  
• He will need to work on his hands and generally uses his body to catch passes.
