Prospects Comments

NFL - Michel is a well-built, no-nonsense runner who is able to combine vision, burst, and physicality. While he can make open field cuts to find additional yardage, his running style is more angular in nature and he thrives when playing north-south. He's not the most creative runner and he lacks some finesse, but his size, pass protection and ability to create yardage make him a natural fit as a future NFL starter.

CBS - Space running back with keen vision and explosive cutting ability. Runs with surprising power too.

DLF - PROJECTED RANGE FOR A ROOKIE DRAFT With the draft capital that the Patriots used to select Michel and the immediate opportunity he walks into, his value is right around 1.02-1.04 range. Rookie Dynasty ADP here at DLF has been consistent, as Michel has been on average the fourth player taken from February through April. After the NFL Draft, I could see him start to climb over Nick Chubb and likely Derrius Guice. It is wheels up for Michel in the Patriots offense as he steps into a phenomenal situation.
