You are giving me his draft profile.  Many RBs are described as such. 

Yes he CAN run over defenders, but he doesn't... why?  Could it be that he is timid?

That's not what I see.   Most of the time he does not make contact it's because he is able to evade (versus avoid) contact.  At that point he'd be stupid to make contact and sacrifice 5 to 15 yards.

When he can't avoid the contact he does not shy away from it but plows.

He does not have the best contact balance, but man he showed really good vision, intensity and a fine ability to elude tacklers - especially for a back his size.

He's actually a pretty intense back.   I think last year he was trying too hard to do the Laveon Bell thing - being patient and waiting to hit the hole.   He did that really well in college actually.  They ARE similar backs in that way.

This year - to his credit - he hit the hole quicker and more decisively.   He made a lot of yards evading penetration in the backfield.

He's a pretty dang good back.
