STRENGTHS
Miles is a solid running back with a high football IQ. He blocks, he runs good routes and has good hands to catch the ball out of the back field. He has the size and leg strength to break tackles and the speed inside the fifty-yard line to take it too the house. Miles is a mature running back. He makes it easy to block for him because he is patient and runs behind his pads with good strength. He has the speed to take the ball outside the tackles and has solid lateral agility and vison to make the right cuts to get himself free and gain needed yardage when the blocking breaks down.
CONCERNS
Miles is an overall excellent running back but he lacks the explosion and quickness to be a dominating running back. That doesn’t mean he won’t impact, it just means he has to have enough touches to impact.
TALENT BOARD ROUND 3.83
Miles has to carry the ball a lot and catch the ball a lot to impact. If your team is behind in the score (in most cases), Miles will not make the play that will break the game open. He could be part of the play like making a block or gaining some yardage in chunks but his talent is solid…but not explosive. Nevertheless, I want Miles to carry the ball in my four-minute offense because I know he will not fumble or make the big mistake to lose the game but he will gain the needed yardage to keep the ball. He’s a quality football player and the type that you don’t think is impacting the game much until you look at the stats and see the yardage, running and catching the ball that he gained. Don’t get me wrong, Miles will make plays, he will make touchdowns, he will catch the ball, just not in a big flashy way.
