STRENGTHS
Kylin has the size, speed, and quickness to be an excellent starting running back for the team that selects him. He reads the blitz as well as any quarterback in college and pass blocks, as well as any H-back. Kylin plays the game with very little effort because he is so quick and has the balance, strength, and vision needed to make his own yards when he needs to. He can catch the ball out of the backfield and down the field like a receiver. What sets Kylin apart, from other running backs in this draft, is not just his size, speed, lateral explosion, hands, vision, balance, and strength to make yards on his own. What really sets him apart from others is his ability to read defenses and blitz’s like a QB and PASS BLOCKS like an H-back or Tight End.
CONCERNS
Kylin has been off the field for a while and will have to gain the trust of the NFL coaches in his interviews and knock off some rust. My biggest concern about Kylin is that he is one of the poorest route runners I have ever seen, coming out of the backfield.
BOTTOM LINE 1.94
Basically, the type of running back you have here is a bigger, stronger version of Giovani Bernard, before he got injured. That bigger version is also smart and a hell of a blocker. His ability to be of more value, to the team that selects him, is to take more of an interest in route running and when he does, Kylin could be one of the better running backs to play in the NFL. Kylin, with improvement in his route running, and with his type of running back skills, could be as valuable and as good as running back as Matt Forte was in his heydays for the Bears.
