RB Roy Helu, Jr., Nebraska


Roy Helu, Jr. , RB, Redskins, 4th round. Neb.: Good size, speed, burst and quickness. Bounces around well when behind the line to find creases. Tends to fall forward for extra yards. Hands catcher. Willing run blocker (though not great) and good pass blocker but needs to get more solid base to keep from getting bowled over. Having trouble picking up blitz in camp. Below-average vision. Very weak upper body. Suspect ball security — in Big 12 Championship, fumbled once and nearly fumbled again. Played in Senior Bowl. Enters crowded but not necessarily talented backfield and will compete with Torain, Hightower, Williams and fellow rookie Royster for touches. Should win the battle and be team’s starting RB right away. Nice future in this offense and his skills match nicely with team’s philosophy.
