Terrance Ganaway Scouting Report |
Terrance Ganaway - Baylor (HT: 5-11½ - WT: 239) |
Positives -- Strong runner in short yardage situations, gets really low and has a strong build to push defenders backward... Huge body, really tough to tackle when he gets a head of steam going, becomes like a bowling ball... Has good build up speed considering his size... Can break the long run, does a good job
of breaking tackles and when he gets to top speed and he is tough to chase down from behind... Great power back who will run right through arm tackles... Runs with good balance... Doesn't have a lot of miles on him, only has one year as a full-time starter so his best football should be ahead of him... Came out of nowhere to explode onto the scene as a senior, had just 114 career carries at Baylor prior to this year; in his senior season, had 1,547 yards and 21 touchdowns on the ground... Had some monster performances, including four games of over 180 yards on the ground and six multi-touchdown games... Ended his career on a strong note running for 200 yards and five touchdowns in the Alamo Bowl against Washington... High character, soft spoken off the field, but a true competitor on it, known as a hard worker... Has some NFL bloodlines, is the nephew of Jeremiah Trotter... Would be a great complementary back in a thunder and lightning situation.
Negatives -- Weight could be an issue in the NFL, needs to stay in shape... Lacks acceleration, takes him awhile to get to full speed... Has little to no suddenness to his game, is very much a straight line runner, has to gear down to change direction and doesn't make many people miss in the open field... Barely contributes in the passing game, is not versatile and should only be used on first and second downs... Just a marginal pass blocker, has the size, but not the technique... Played in a bit of a gimmicky offense at Baylor, took most of his handoffs out of the shotgun and defenses were often more concerned with stopping Robert Griffin than Ganaway which may have padded his statistics a little, often had huge holes to run through, a similar situation to the breakout year Alex Green had for Hawaii a year earlier.
