Demetric Felton, 23yo Senior picked in the 6th round by the Browns. He is 5'9/189, and can do damage both on the ground and through the air (especially in 2019 he was used on 86 rushing pays and had 55 receptions; in terms of targets that must have been almost 1:1). In 2020 he was the #1 back and had 827 yds from scrimmage and 8 TD in 6 games against PAC12 opponents.
We take a look at the game USC @ UCLA, in which he went 21/90 and 5/47/2 (#10):
Pass to Felton, good catch, nice shimmy to get rid of the CB and he's gone.
Run protection for the QB. This is a problem; USC smells the play and blitzes from all sides. Felton first chooses the correct block, then adjusts as the lineman is going the same way; tries to staty on target to block for his QB, but in the end both Felton and lineman miss the blitzer and the QB gets caught behind the line of scrimmage. Felton doesn't knbow that, and keeps blocking the LB. Good work on a failed play.
Another nice route as a receiver, proving an immediate threat. Good catch, great work to evade the DB and it's a TD.
So can he also run between the tackles?
Yes he can. I love this guy, I just think he has a lot of (young) guys in front of him on the Browns, but that may of course change during the off-season.
