His pro comp on NFL.com is Pacheco and that actually seems like a good comp.
Won’t knock him much for pass protection bc most of these backs need to work on that.
I think guys like Brashard Smith, Jaydon Blue, Trevor Etienne, RJ Harvey, DJ Giddens and Dylan Sampson can play his role better but that’s just my view.

Jaydon Blue has worse fumble issues, especially on a per-carry basis. I'd cross him off the list, personally.
RJ Harvey is absolutely atrocious in blitz pickup/pass block, so that might limit his 3rd down appeal for Reid. I like him a lot, overall.
I like Etienne and Sampson the most in this group. I just hope Sampson doesn't end up with constant nagging hammies, and I hope Etienne isn't as volume-limited as he was in college if one of them ends up in KC.
Brashard Smith still looks more WR than RB to me but maybe he'll continue to develop.
