Rashaad Penny is one of the most decorated players in the history of the FCS. A consensus All-American in 2017, Penny has an otherworldly level of production on a resume that’s beginning to garner the respect it deserves.
Fresh off of eclipsing the 2,000-yard and 20-touchdown plateaus, Penny has positioned himself for a lucrative and rewarding NFL career.
Penny finished the 2017 season with 2,248 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns. It’s bigger than numbers with prospect scouting, but a player doesn’t accumulate that type of production without some type of translatable traits.
Penny certainly has an appealing profile, primarily due to his solid 220-pound frame and 4.46 speed that he utilizes to play the angles.
Penny’s vision and speed as a runner will be the primary selling point to teams that are looking for a new threat on the ground. He’s also solid through the air, with the hands to provide help as a checkdown option or a weapon via screen plays.
Some are concerned about the wear and tear that Penny endured from his heavy workload in college, but his talent is NFL-caliber.
