Running Back - Kendall Hunter, Oklahoma State

Height:  5'7"
Weight:  199
40yd:  4.46

Interest Level:

Private Workout:  Yes
Private Visit to Team Facility:  No
Attended Proday:  No
Other: -

Quick Take:

Compact, explosive runner with terrific quickness, and good feet.  Can get to the 2nd level quickly and is a terrific change of pace style runner.  Started for 2 years, and showed only adequate durability.  Not a tackle breaker, but shifty in the seam and knows how to get through as quick as possible.  Understands his running lanes in a pistol style offense (requires a good first step from RBs) and has good vision to find his assignment.  Adequate blocker with a good attitude, but will struggle to be effective in the NFL.  Has a plate in his right ankle.

Where He Goes in the Draft:

Bottom of the third round

What is Denver's Interest In Him?

Medium.

Another prospect that earned a workout due to scheduling conflicts with prodays.  Denver likely wanted to get a good feel for his medical history as well, and to see how he did with some zone concepts they will likely be running.  He falls int he wasteland between Denver's 3rd and 6th round picks, and isn't likely worth moving for specifically.

[Note:  All players in the table are ranked by overall grade within their round grouping, however, the round groupings are based on where this player will likely be drafted based on where teams are currently selecting in the draft.  Therefore a player is ranked within a group by his level of ability, but players in nearby groupings may have higher or lower actual grades, despite being in a different group.  Confusing enough for you? --Styg]
