Weight: 220

Strengths
The former running back has retained several of the attributes often put to use at his old position. Little is very strong with a love for contact, displaying his toughness and physicality with regularity. He uses his big, strong frame to go up for tough catches, frequently making difficult, acrobatic catches. While not a burner, Little has solid speed and exceptional play-making ability in the open field. Has very big, reliable hands. Solid blocker.
Weaknesses
Little isn’t an elite route-runner. Speed is just slightly above average. Pretty raw and inexperienced. Has some character concerns. He’s booming with talent and potential, but could be hyped up a bit too much due to his size and athleticism. Does not have the experience or production you look for.
Draft Range
Little’s great combination of size, athleticism, and body control will move him up many team’s draft boards. He’ll live in the league on potential alone. He still has a lot of work to do, but that’s the same thing many experts were saying about fellow former Tarheel, Hakeem Nicks. He’s a mid-round prospect who will fit great as a number two option in a couple of years.
