    FLORIDAJET, now comes the confusion:
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Running Back | Senior | Florida St. Leon Washington
    Height: 5-7 7/8 | Weight: 201 | 40-Time: 4.42

    Official Bio

    Strengths:
    A tremendous athlete...Has good speed and is very quick...A natural runner with good instincts and vision...Has a solid and sturdy build...Does a superb job as a receiver out of the backfield...Will make defenders miss...Dangerous in the open field...Runs low and plays bigger than he is...Solid blocker...Versatile and can help a team in many ways...Hard worker and team leader with top intangibles.

    Weaknesses:
    Lacks ideal height...Has some durability questions...Not very powerful and won't break tackles or do much after contact...Needs to get stronger...Was never the primary ball carrier in college...Upside is limited by his physical shortcomings.

    Notes:
    Could be a poor-man's Warrick Dunn...Probably won't be an every-down running back at the next level due to his lack of ideal size...Could carve a niche for himself in a situational role by contributing as a runner, receiver and return man.


    Everyone seems to have a different height listed for him!

    He's definately 5' 7.853926403"

    A couple of inches is nothing. He's short, but he'll be effective if he runs well.
