Played for former NFL coaches Jim Harbaugh and Chip Kelly.
Has rushed for nearly 2500 yards and 27 TDs over the past two years.
Has that ideal RB size - 6', 214 lb
61 receptions for 518 rec yards the past two years as well
Less than 10 passes dropped in his college career, according to ProFootballNetwork's scouting report
And finally, he can pass block
He put up a 9.42 RAS at the Combine, including a great vert (37"), broad (10'2"), and 10-yd-split (1.54).
His 40 was solid too at 4.53.
He did not run the shuttle or 3-cone.
TDN has Charbonnet as their 73rd ranked prospect, and that's before the Combine.
Very possible he ends up as a 2nd round pick when all is said and done.
I like Charbonnet a lot. The biggest things I like about him is the effortless shifting side to side during his runs and the fact that his feet never stop. He's also a reliable receiver with only 5 drops in 4 years. My only real concern with him is whether he's the pass protector we saw at Michigan who had a 64 grade as a freshman, or the one we saw last year at UCLA, where he was a 35. To his credit, he does give a nice initial pop to blitzers, but sometimes that's the extent of it, and that defender can release / get by him pretty quickly. I think he has the tools to be decent though, with good coaching in that area. Everything else is a plus to me, and I think he'd be a helluva fit in this offense.
