RB Devin Neal, Kansas - Patient yet decisive runner. Explosive off initial cut. Great burst and speed over initial 15-20 yards. Loses steam on long runs so might not be a game-breaker in the pros.

I agree with this.
He seemed to take more of his long runs the distance as a junior. Makes me wonder if he had a lingering injury or something as a senior.
The rumor is that KU’s WRs hated Kotelnicki. I also speculate that Coach K was much better about making his WRs block downfield, which may explain why Neal took more to the house before he left.
His ability to make guys miss within the hole and then put his foot in the ground and get what’s there is big time though. I’ll be surprised if he isn’t at least what Khalil Herbert was for the Bears his first few seasons.
