2017 NFL Draft: Top 10 college running backs to watch

11 of 12

10. Matthew Dayes, NC State (5-9, 203) — Film Grade: 76.5

Quick Take: Dayes is a quick, elusive runner with good speed and ability to set up defenders in the open field. He has good initial burst and will run hard, pushing through contact. He also has very good hands and is really effective in the screen game. Dayes did only have one 1,000-yard season in college, and his smaller stature could move him down some draft boards.

Traits: 1. Athletic Ability (9/10) 2. Speed (8/10) 3. Power (6/10) 4. Burst (8/10) 5. Vision (8/10) 6. Impact/Production (7/10) 7. Yards After Contact (8/10) 8. Route Running (4/5) 9. Hands (4/5) 10. Pass Protection (3.5/5) 11. Ball Security (7/10) 12. Toughness/Physicality (4/5)
