Good Backup With The Potential To Develop Into Starter
Analysis
By Lance Zierlein

Jamaal Williams
Overview
Thickly muscled runner capable of wearing out defenses through a heavier workload. There were times Estimé played too slowly when forced to process moving pieces up front, but he showed a greater willingness to cut it loose as the season progressed. He’s naturally powerful with adequate foot agility. Estimé doesn’t have the bend to be a one-cut runner but can make reactive cuts to sudden tacklers near the line of scrimmage. If he can hit the gas with a heavier foot, he’ll continue to break tackles and maximize yardage after contact. He’s a better weapon out of the backfield than he might get credit for being, and he could check into the league as part of a two-headed running attack with the ability to shine near the goal line.
Strengths
Can make sudden, reactive cuts to elude a closing tackler.
Agile feet to hop over or side-step foot traffic and keep the run alive.
Has a knack for finding late-developing lanes as an inside/outside runner.
Once he picks up momentum, tackling him is like tackling a compact car.
Drops pads and drives forward to shred poor tackle technique.
Capable receiver catching everything thrown his way in college.
Weaknesses
Can get bogged down when processing interior block development.
Sluggish to gather feet, sink hips and cut with burst downhill.
Average burst allows defenders an opportunity to take their shots.
Running style forces him to work harder for what he gets.
Has potential to protect quarterback, but he needs technique work.
