Ryquell Armstead Highlights

00:34

OVERALL:

Armstead could be dangerous in a zone-blocking scheme with his one-cut ability, downhill speed and power game. He profiles well as a short-yardage back too. For a team that's already settled with a speed back, Armstead could come in and play well right away.

GRADE: 5.90 (ROUND 4—POTENTIAL STARTER)

PRO COMPARISON: Jordan Howard
