Andre Ellington
Pos: RB Height: 5-10 Weight: 195 Hometown: Moncks Corner, SC (Berkeley HS) Years Played: 2008 - 2012

From nepatriotdraft.com :

- On long TD pass, he stepped up in the hole and got JUST enough of Dawkins for Boyd to get pass off – Overpowered easily though
- Great vision on the screen, one cut and then outruns the FSU defense, EXPLOSIVE
- Turns the corner with ease, able to outrun defensive linemen who have good angle on him
- Waiting until the last second to make his cut and then he explodes through hole – can go from 0 – 60 very fast
- Explosive pass catcher out of backfield, soft hands outruns coverage and turns SAF around for long TD
- Every time the ball is in his hands he is one move away from taking it to the house – Play-maker
- Makes subtle little cuts, without losing any speed at all, has outstanding balance and body control
- Catches the ball and gets up-field in one motion, everything is just smooth with the way he does things
