Terrance Ganaway, RB, Baylor
Ganaway had some special moments with the Baylor Bears and deservedly so. Coming from a difficult background, Ganaway overcame adversity and now looks forward to becoming a middle round draft pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Ganaway isn't particularly athletic, but he is very tough and could handle a ton of carries as a workhorse back. For his size and weight, he has close to average speed and quickness. He knows when to use his agility but more often than not, he understands when to take what the defense gives him. He remains patient with his blockers and possesses good vision to find the open field.
Sometimes shies away from contact. He must learn to embrace a more physical running style and lower his pad level. Limited experience as a receiver. Below average pass protector. Due to Baylor's spread offense, if he was on the field, he was either running the ball or running a route into the flats. Will need to learn more than other rookies about blitz pickup. For a back his size, he could afford to show more brute strength and a willingness to run people over as a runner.
This seems like a good year to wait on running backs. The newest Draftek Consensus Draft has us waiting to the fifth round and grabbing this guy. I like the move. To me this guy sounds a lot like Brandon Jacobs. He ran faster during his pro day than the time above. It says he's a poor blocker but only because he didn't have too in Baylor's offense. With that size you'd think this guy would punish linebackers and safeties. He could serve the roll Benson did for us last year as a clock killer.
