Sedrick Irvin

RB · Michigan State
Positives... Has a rare physique with broad shoulders, thick chest, sculpted arms, big bubble, wide hips, thick legs and thighs and above average balance and body control. ... Shows very quick acceleration off the ball and the change of direction agility and flexibility to redirect when the rush lanes are clogged. ... More of a power oriented runner who despite his tall frame, stays low in his pads and does an excellent job of securing and protecting the ball before running it up the middle. ... Strictly a north-south runner, but has some juke and hip wiggle to bounce to the outside. ... His leg drive allows him to break arm tackles, and he does a very good job of squaring his shoulders and powering his way through trash. ... He is nimble enough to avoid leg tackles, as he just high steps and finishes the play. ... Has not been asked to lead block much, but in limited chances, he shows more than enough strength to keep the rush lanes clear. ... Displays good hip snap as a blocker in pass protection and will face up and take on the larger defensive linemen. ... His good hands and urgency he shows protecting the ball will not make fumbling a problem. ... Even though he's used strictly between the tackles, he does show good feet and lateral agility to pick and slide in-line. ... Outside of his strength, the thing you notice in his runs is the ability to maintain his balance when he gets behind his pads. ... Will usually get good yardage after contact when he lowers to drive through defenders. ... Good effort runner who keeps his feet when getting to the outside, but is best when dishing out punishment with the ball in his hands on inside runs. Negatives. ... He's not going to make precision cuts, bounce to the outside and elude, but does have some burst and an extra gear to break past arm tackles into the secondary. ... As a receiver, he is still a work in progress and this could stay a liability in his game. ... His hands look too stiff to be anything more than a safety valve target, if even that. ... Shows very good run instincts, but will lose vision on the defenders when having to redirect outside. ... Does not have the top burst or speed to be effective running outside, as he's a bit short-legged and does not show the stride to get outside the defense. ... Lacks route skills on those limited chances he has had to swing out of the backfield. ... Will over-commit his body at times in attempts to stave off the edge rush, causing him to fall of his blocks.
