New York Giants Draft Prospect Profile: RB Evan Hull

Evan Hull, RB

Height: 5-foot-10⅛
Weight: 209 lbs.

Strengths

• Was the third-fastest running back at the Senior Bowl, topping out at 19.89 MPH
• Is about as consistent as you can get as a pass-catcher
• Does a good job of putting his shoulder down and falling forward
• Loves to get moving downhill as a runner
• Special teams experience as a return man
• Runs with good balance, can take light-to-moderate contact and keep churning

Weaknesses

• Doesn’t consistently hit that top gear he showed at the Senior Bowl
• Very tight as a runner
• Needs work as a pass-protector at the next level--the effort is there though
• Too often tries to go to where the rushing lane might be instead of where it is
• While he gets his shoulder down to fall forward, doesn’t consistently create extra yardage

Summary

Evan Hull was somebody I ignored, for the most part, going into the Senior Bowl, but he showed up and made plays consistently, flashing speed I hadn’t seen from him when watching Northwestern. If he can maintain that level of play and work on his pass protection, he’s going to be a committee back for a long time.
