Vision/Agility:

Weber has great vision for a back his age (19 years old), can identify the hole and gets to it in a hurry. He can play downhill, or east-to-west, and still be productive. Weber pairs his vision with his plus agility (as most great running backs do) to break into the open field for nice gains.
