Nate Ilaoa #4
Running Back
Hawaii
Ht: 5'9
Wt: 248

Strengths: Huge, powerful running back. Tremendous strength. Runs low. Keeps his legs moving at all times. Quick feet. Very agile. Excellent receiver out of the backfield. Excellent short yardage back.

Weaknesses: Too slow to be a feature back. Lacks fullback experience, where he may be best suited for in the NFL. Doesn't come from a traditional NFL offense and doesn't have a ton of experience running the football. Has a history of injuries including knee, shoulder, and calf injuries that have caused him to miss time. Weight control is a major concern.

Comments: Ilaoa is a big, powerful battering ram of a running back that can be an excellent situational weapon at the next level. His upside is limited, but in the right situation he could excel as a short yardage weapon. He projects as a late round selection.
