Dynasty Rookie Draft Profile: Eric Gray
Eric Gray Dynasty Rookie Draft Outlook
Eric Gray should be a quality RB2 in the NFL. He wins with vision and displays a good feel for zone runs with the patience to let his blocks develop. He presses the hole and has a good jab step that he deploys before getting upfield. Gray doesn’t possess much in tackling-breaking or the ability to create a ton on his own. His leg drive is average, and he goes down too often by shoestring tackles or with the first defender in pursuit. Gray deploys a spin move occasionally to help him create more yards after first contact. His lack of physicality shows up in blocking and pass protection. Gray is a solid receiver. He is at his best when working in space where he can build up a head of steam and utilize his vision in traffic. His pass protection worries could limit his upside as a receiver at the next level unless he lands in a scheme that deploys their backs in routes more than blocking duties.

Eric Gray 2023 NFL Draft Outlook
Gray is a smooth runner who wastes little time getting upfield and is capable of weaving through congestion between the tackles, getting to the outside on off-tackle runs, or recognizing cutback lanes. He may lack the ideal top-end speed to hit home runs or the power to punish defenders and break tackles on a consistent basis. He looks like a future rotational or committee back with a good feel for the game.
