Latavius Murray, RB, UCF

I've seen a few games of his and never really showed a whole lot, but after watching some highlights I'm starting to be intrigued

Obviously his size 6'3 225 stands out, but he seems to have some decent speed and lateral quickness for man that size as well as good ability to see the hole and accelerate through it. He does have good hands and can pluck the ball away from his body. On the downside he runs a little high and doesn't generate the kind of power you'd like to see from a man that size, and he doesn't shift the ball to his outside arm which takes away the ability to use a pretty good stiff arm.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this guy? I think he could be a sleeper back in this class.

Underrated RB, could be a steal in the later rounds.

He went to the same high school as Mike Hart. Was constantly misused at Central Florida, they toyed with moving him to linebacker. Had that tough knee injury, but worked hard to get through it.

At worse, he could be a great special teamer at the next level. I think he could contribute in a teams backfield though.
