Rahsul Faison Scouting Report

Rahsul Faison is a smooth, fluid, quick-accelerating back who can provide impactful plays in the run game for an NFL offense.

Draft Grade: Round 5 - Role Specific Contributor

Strengths:

Quick Accelerator: Faison, once he takes the handoff, shows a quick burst through the line of scrimmage that allows him to pick up quick yards and capitalize on immediate openings created by the offensive line.

Vision: Faison does a good job of scanning the line of scrimmage and finding openings. He can get skinny and slip through holes to pick up positive yards for the offense.

Inside Zone Runner: As an inside zone runner, Faison shows strong instincts and an understanding of when to press the hole and bounce runs or get downhill quickly. He knows when to be patient and when to accelerate. Faison is effective on inside zone plays when he gets his pads north and south quickly and uses lateral cuts to move from one hole to another.

Concerns:

Top-End Speed: Although Faison showcases a quick burst through the line of scrimmage, he may lack true home-run speed to take runs the distance.

Pass Protection: Pass protection is an area of Faison’s game where he needs to become more effective by improving his overall technique to win these important matchups on passing downs.
