Derrius Guice, five-foot-eleven, 212 pounds

Strengths:

  • Speed
  • Breaking Tackles/Physicality
  • Agility
  • Receiving
  • Pass Blocking

Analysis:

Guice is a really explosive runner that has both the quick burst and the breakaway speed to separate from defenders. He can sprint through holes, pound the ball between the tackles, or take a carry around end for huge chunks of yardage.

Take a look at a few examples:

Elusiveness:

Guice has a side step/juke move that is lethal. He uses it in combination with his speed and overall strength and makes defenders look foolish.

Take a look:

No wait. There’s more.
