RB Mikell LeShoure, Illinois


Mikel LeShoure, RB, Lions, 2nd round. Ill.: Above-average size, with very good quickness and good speed and for the size. Strong lower body — runs slightly upright, but still has the strength to break tackles. Good vision on cutbacks. Good spin move. Smooth runner. Lowers shoulders to deliver hits. Always falls forward. Willing pass blocker. Keeps shoulders squared. Average upper-body strength. Fair receiver. Needs to go more N-S than E-W in short yardage. Junior who has declared for 2011 draft. Has been compared several times to Steven Jackson. Will eventually pair with Jahvid Best for great 1-2 punch, but may even be more productive than Best if used as a grinder on 1st and 2nd down. Ruptured Achilles tendon in training camp and is out for 2011.
