What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2026 NFL Draft? 

What makes me a top prospect at my position in the 2026 NFL Draft is my explosiveness and my ability to hit a home run at any point of the game. I’m a physical back who can run effectively between and outside the tackles as well as catch the ball. I can make defenders miss in space, break tackles through contact, and turn small creases into big plays. I’m not just trying to gain yards — I’m looking to flip momentum and change the game with one touch
