I think he lacked any one attribute in which he stood out.. He is a good scrambler and runner but not fast in terms of the NFL. He has a strong arm, but not by NFL standards, he’s tall enough but on the very short side. He played at a very high level of competition for FCS, but it’s still FCS. Always room for doubt.
I won’t debate EB3’s athleticism, but the NDSU matchup was probably the most NFL-like defense he ever faced. He was sacked 5 times and only led scoring drives in the first quarter. Scott Marsh loved to call him multifaceted, but IMO he was really a one trick pony, that trick being exploiting time dancing around in the backfield. His long ball isn’t that accurate especially when under pressure and when you have a corn fed defense that won’t let you take forever to develop a play, he’s out of tricks. In the NFL you can’t run backwards 30 yards and expect to have a positive yard play very often.
