Recent Brad Lester Notes
Brad Lester
positives
Explosive runner into the hole, and hits it hard. Used in one- or two-back sets. Stays on the hip the fullback and finds space to run. Can also read the linemen in zone blocking and finds space. Very quick feet, and can step through trash inside or sidestep tacklers to burst into an opening. Has some lean, keeping his feet moving after contact and runs over safeties at the second level. Always fights for the extra yards. Will run up inside or bounce to the outside. Faces up against linebackers or defensive ends in pass protection. Effectively cut blocks, as well. Willing to go downfield and throw blocks for receivers after they make a catch. Plays through the whistle. Potentially a very good kick returner because of his direct approach and tough running style.
negatives
Only an adequate build, average in upper body and lower body strength. Questionable in short-yardage situations because of a lack of bulk (not effort). Doesn't have breakaway speed. Does not get a lot of chances to catch the ball, so he will need to prove he has the hands to contribute as a receiver. Committee of tailbacks at Auburn limits his productivity.
