physical, tackle-breaking RB with NFL-caliber run style
Chris Carson stood out at Oklahoma State as a tough, downhill runner who paired power and balance with enough burst to finish runs and create yards after contact; 247Sports graded his tackle-breaking and power among his best traits, and Oklahoma State’s profile notes he ran for 994 yards and 9 touchdowns in his final junior-college season before becoming a productive Cowboy. He was also viewed as a “dawg”/hard-nosed presence by fans and team clips, which fits a team looking for a runner who brings intensity, contact balance, and reliable between-the-tackles value more than flash.
