Devon Achane’s projection to the next level is an interesting one because of his unique skill set and lack of size. Achane fits into the smaller running back category, which leads evaluators to believe that he cannot be a featured back in the NFL. He is a very suitable runner, especially outside of the tackles, but has surprising strength between the tackles to break for big runs. Achane’s health and availability will be the key to his career in the NFL.

Devon Achane scouting notes
Pros
- Very good speed. Should be sub 4.4.
- Subtle change of direction is good. Shows some promising ability on the cutback.
- Good body control. Shows a wide variety of moves and makes people miss. Has a natural way of avoiding big contact.
- Fairly explosive athlete. Doesn’t seem to stop accelerating. Has several gears he can kick into in space.
- Finds creases and “tunnels” to run through. Contact balance between the tackles is impressive.
- Capable receiver out of the backfield and shows good hands. Was utilized as a receiver very often. Good, not great, route runner. Ran a lot of routes from the backfield at Texas A&M.
- Has some good technique that translates to power from that spot. Impressive in pass protection when he was asked to do it. Very decent chip blocker. Checks effectively.
Cons
- Doesn’t see defenders too well at times.
- Overall a very good prospect who doesn’t really have a special ability.
- Enters 2022 with just 1 career start. Has been a part of a rotation his entire college career.
