RUNNING BACK - 6'3, 255, 4.5 - Michigan St  - Junior
 
 
 
 
One of the top high school players in the country, many felt Duckett was headed for stardom as a Linebacker but he has made a successful switch to Running Back. 

PROS: 
Huge. Tough to bring down. Duckett is a load. He's been compared to Ron Dayne and Jerome Bettis because of his size and running style but he's faster thatn both of them. A great athlete and a rare combination. 

CONS: 
Has had some injury problems. Despite size, hasn't had to block much. Hasn't had to catch much either. Not really a break away threat although he has shown outside run ability. 

FINAL WORD: 
A rare player, Duckett has stardom written all over him. He still has another year but if he has a good year, he'll be in the top five. He could be the best in a very good class of running backs.
