Footwork: There’s good cadence to his steps, but Haskins hasn’t really struck me as a creator in the backfield when the point of attack is stuffed up. His foot fire isn’t at a rate that allows for sudden adjustments and re-acceleration. I have seen some hard jump-cuts out of him that has allowed him to parlay his press of the line into a hard attack upfield.
Explosiveness: I certainly wouldn’t consider him to be a dynamic player, but he is a powerful one who can punish tacklers in one-on-one situations and has just enough bounce and spring to make you wrong if you don’t bring integrity into your tackle challenges or your fits in a gap. Versatility: I don’t see any reason why he can’t be a winner in any rushing concept that features downhill running, but I wouldn’t run him in wide/outside zone or ask him to consistently get the edge on outside concepts—I don’t see that kind of juice. I don’t think he’s a true three-down player either, but he can have value on short-yardage runs and as a high-volume runner.
Elusiveness: Just when you’re ready to pin him as a runner who doesn’t have a ton of creativity he ends up hurdling over someone. He’s not overly loose as a runner and he’s not going to freeze tacklers with short steps and suddenness, but he has just enough ways to make you miss that he’s capable of being a challenge if he gets the edge and turns upfield in space.Passing Down Skills: There’s a mixed bag of upside here to work with.
Discipline: I appreciate the balanced approach he brings to running. He’s quick to fall in line behind his pullers and lead blockers and is willing to allow blocks to develop before redirecting and accelerating back into space. There’s been good return on investment in short-yardage situations as well to simply duck into the pile and churn his legs.
