Buccaneers, UDFA. Tex.: Small size. Below-average hand size.

Positives: Versatile weapon who played both WR and RB. Good speed and acceleration. Nimble and quick feet, able to make good cuts. Adequate hands. Very good burst. Above-average change-of-direction ability. Patient and decisive on KR and waits for blocks to develop. Is patient as RB on inside runs and waits for blocks. Willing blocker. Above-average balance after contact.

Negatives: Below-average power and tends to lean instead of churn through contact.

Projection: Is buried on the Buccaneers depth chart, but with probably four RBs ahead of him, he may not stick on the roster. Best chance is to stick as a returner or on another team. No need to draft, but he does have NFL abilities.

Redskins, UDFA. S. Car.:

Positives: Adequate speed. Above-average power. Breaks arm tackles. Fair balance after contact. Good hands, and can extend well and consistently. Above-average body control and adjusts to errant passes. Adequate cutback vision. Above-average quickness. Good body lean.

Negatives: Below-average ball security and doesn’t hold tightly through the line.

Projection: A very nice fit for Washington’s running game, and will compete with Jawan Jamison, Chris Thompson, Evan Royster and Keiland Williams for backup spot. I think he’s the equal of Jamison and Williams, and a step ahead of Royster. Very much worth a late-round flyer.

Cowboys, UDFA. Mo.: Below-average size.

Positives: Above-average burst. Good balance after contact. Fairly patient. Very good speed and overall athleticism. Adequate upper-body strength. Lowers shoulder to gain extra yards and bowls over DBs despite his lack of size. Smooth runner with good spin move. Looks effortless changing directions. Always heading downfield, even when making moves.

Negatives: Suspect balance making cuts.

Projection: Is one of five or six RBs vying for playing time behind DeMarco Murray. At this point, I think he’s the best of the bunch, but with such a long depth chart and months to go before the season, it’s hard to say what happens. Regardless, he has NFL tools and should end up on someone’s roster.

Texans, UDFA. Ark.: Very short but proportional bulk.

Positives: Above-average power. Good leg drive and balance. Good burst and is hard to arm tackle. Above-average change-of-direction ability. Adequate speed, upper-body strength and overall athleticism.

Projection: Will compete with fellow rookie George Winn as the third RB on team. On a run-heavy team, he may have some value, especially if either Arian Foster or Ben Tate gets injured. Draft for his RB2 potential.

Texans, UDFA. Cincinnati: Adequate size. Great hand size.

Positives: Powerful runner who keeps legs churning after contact. Good body lean. Keeps grinding in short yardage and when hit behind the line. Above-average long speed and adequate burst. Above-average agility. Fair cutback vision. Protects ball through the line. Also has kick coverage experience on special teams. Above-average upper-body strength. Above-average explosiveness in Combine measurements.

Negatives: Strictly a north-south runner who seldom shows any creativity or desire to go away from designed hole. Below-average vision and tends to pinball his way through the line rather than seeing his way through it. Below-average track speed.

Projection: Will compete with fellow rookie Dennis Johnson as the third RB on team. On a run-heavy team, he may have some value, especially if either Arian Foster or Ben Tate gets injured. Draft as an immediate RB5 with RB2 potential.

Eagles, UDFA. TCU: Great height and above-average bulk. Average hand size.

Positives: Good burst, speed, and balance. Very good power. Breaks a lot of tackles. Very good open-field vision. Good patience. Good hands catcher — tracks ball well deep. Keeps legs churning through contact for extra yards. Great leaper. Fair pass blocker. Adequate hands.

Negatives: Needs to protect ball better when he fights for extra yards. Runs a little upright. Injured ankle in early 2012 season kept him out a few games. Not much experience as a receiver out of the backfield. Suspect vision behind the line. Below-average upper-body strength.

Projection: Has a real shot at being LeSean McCoy’s backup ahead of Chris Polk, Bryce Brown, and fellow undrafted rookie Miguel Maysonet. Worth drafting as an RB5 with RB3 potential… maybe RB2 if he ends up starting.
