Chris Polk
Running Back
5-11 222 lbs.
Washington
-Polk is a bigger RB that has said he will run a 4.4 40. For a guy with his size and strength, a 4.4 40 would be huge.
-Runs straight through arm tackles, he plays too powerfully and low for that.
-Very good at pass protection. If no extra blitzers comes he will chip the end man on the LoS and go out as an outlet receiver which is smart.
-Very good cutback skills. Does a good job sucking defenders in before cutting to the outside.
-Washington’s offensive line was poor this year, so many times his runs were him making something out of nothing.
-Sees holes open up very well and knows when it is time to give up on the play and take what you can get.
-Patient runner that waits for a play to develop.
-Polk should be a productive back in year one. He is not dynamic a homerun threat but he can pull away if defenders take bad angles. I can see him stepping into a starting role from day one. I think he is a step below Richardson, but definitely on the same level with Miller, just a different type of back. Late 1st – 2nd. Possible destinations: Denver, St. Louis, NYG, Kansas City.
