Devon Achane

Versatile offense weapon with a limited frame but impressive open-field athleticism. Shorter athlete with a smaller frame who lacks ideal size but compensates with great playmaking ability and production. Primarily a high school running back, but likely a receiver or offensive athlete in college. Capable of lining up wide, in the slot, and in the backfield depending on personnel packages. Quick-footed short-strider who accelerates quickly. Flashes terrific run-after-catch ability. Shows outstanding balance and body control. Sometimes able to slip through glancing contact to maximize touches. Hits another gear at the second level. Impressive long speed for a frame-limited prospect. Dangerous, game-breaking ability in the return game. Monster production for Texas Class 5A power. Lacks needed size and strength to play a high-volume backfield role in college. Will need to hone route-running skills if full-time move to receiver materializes. Tackle-slipping will be greatly reduced against bigger, stronger competition unless bulk and strength are added. Potential impact early on special teams with all-conference potential on offense. NFL draft is a possibility with proper development as a receiver.
