LenDale White

From Chris Sproule, for About.com

Position: Running Back

School: USC

Status: Junior

Height: 6-2

Weight: 235

40-Yard Dash: 4.50 (EST)

Positives:


LenDale White is a freight train ready to run defenders over. He is a load to bring down and has solidified himself as one of the best power runners in college football. Leading the way for that potent rushing attack of the Trojans, he has been a consistent force in the backfield. He has a great combination of size and speed, and an underrated sense of vision. Many people forget what a great receiver he is. This quality will help him greatly in the draft.

Negatives:


He has a tendency to try to be too shifty. Instead, he should be running north and south. The biggest knock on him is his inability to block the pass rush. He needs to get rid of these bad habits or many teams will pass on him.

Overview:


I think this guy will be a stud in the NFL. With the right coaching, LenDale White will be an elite running back in this league. In my opinion, he will be a better pro than Reggie Bush, which will come as a surprise to many. His great vision, speed, and size will take him far in the league. LenDale White will be a better pro player then he was a college player, and that is just scary.
