Coach Comments: Mike is physically and mentally tough. He plays with tenacity and at full speed every rep in practice and games. As a RB, he has tremendous vision, great speed, and can put his shoulder down to get the tough yards or make you miss in space and go the distance. He possess very good hands and is very versatile. Defensively he has good instincts, range and likes to hit. He is ultra competitive and is a play maker on both sides of the ball.
