What the Draft Analysts Say about Snoop
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com believes Snoop has the power running ability, speed and aggression to be an explosive player at the next level. He also knows Snoop excels in short-yardage situations.
“Rocked up runner with aggressive disposition and relatively low mileage on his tires,” said Zierlein.
“Conner is a scheme-versatile runner, which could help him as he transitions to the next level. He’s more than willing to choose violence on every snap but rarely allows that mindset to prevent him from seeking out less-trafficked pathways with his vision. He will run himself into some tackles because of his red-hot tempo, but ironically, he’s a patient and highly effective short-yardage back. Conner has three-down talent and projects as a good committee back with the frame to carry a workload if needed.”
