Ernest Blackwell, RB
(6-2, 242, 4.8*) | Missouri Drafted by: Kansas City, Pick 35, Round 7 , Overall 224 |
|
*Only ran once at the combine before pulling his hamstring but had been clocked at 4.58 on Missouri's very fast surface. Notes: Played in four games, starting two before suffering a season-ending toe injury in 1994. Had seven rushes for 32 yards. Started seven of the first nine games in '95 and then was suspended for the last two games. Had 33 rushes for 220 yards and one touchdown and one catch for six yards. Carried 79-506-5 in '96. Played in 11 games, starting twice, in '97. Carried 75-551-6 and caught two passes for eight yards. Positives: Great body. Is a lot faster than his 4.8 combine time. Outstanding athletic test results. Flashes big-play ability as a runner. Can be explosive as both a runner and blocker. Fits one-back offense pretty nicely. Negatives: Lacks consistency as a blocker and pass-catching skills as a receiver. Looks mechanical and stiff trying to catch the ball at times. Played fullback but generally played it as though he wanted to be a tailback. Does not really have TB running skills. Spent much of his life in a foster home and does not seem to be a very trusting or easy-to-get-to-know type of person. Information provided by Pro Football Weekly
