Power runner with NFL-level burst and contact balance
Crowell’s calling card has always been his downhill, physical style: he showed legit explosion at the 2014 NFL Combine with a 38.0-inch vertical and strong bench numbers, and in the 2018 NFL season he averaged 4.8 yards per carry with 685 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns for the Raiders.[2][1] He’s the kind of back who can punish defenders between the tackles and create chunk gains when he gets a crease, but his pro career was also interrupted by a torn Achilles in a workout, which is a major durability flag for any team evaluating him.[3][5]
