Baron Batch
School: Texas Tech
Position: RB
Bio: Three-year starter who led Texas Tech in rushing as a senior, posting 177/816/5 with 32/226/3 receiving. Junior rushing totals included 168/884/14 with 57/395/1 receiving.
Positive: Quick, elusive ball carrier who projects as a third-down back in the NFL. Runs low to the ground, gets lost behind blockers, and will pick and choose his spots on the inside. Squeezes through small openings of the defense, shows a burst, and has the ability to quickly cut back against the grain. Makes defenders miss and creates yardage. Terrific receiver out of the backfield who nicely adjusts to the errant throw and extends to make catches away from his frame.
Negative: Lacks strength in his running and brought down at the point of attack by a single defender. Not a back who can run to daylight.
Analysis: Batch has been ultra productive on the college level, and his combination of creative running and receiving skills will help him find a spot on an active roster in the NFL.
