I’ll drop some clips so everyone can see a little bit of who Sean Tucker is as a player!

Here we see him identify that the hole was compromised quickly, so he bounces it back side showing the acceleration to get the edge and eliminate the defensive angles. This move likely doesn’t transition to the NFL as this lateral movement gets stuff most times.

Here we see him get some nice blocking and he hits the hole with good conviction and speed, he then shows his awareness of the rear defender and puts two hands on the ball, and leans his outside shoulder to protect the ball while showing some burst to get around the defender on… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Here we see he gets too deep into the hole that is closing before he reads the hole opening to the left, so then he tries to bounce it outside and it goes south from there, he needs to lean into this hole and just get a few yards, he is fast but so is everyone else and going east… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Here we see him whiff on a chip before releasing, he then makes a nice hands catch away from the body and transitions smoothly to a runner and shows off the afterburners to get a nice chunk play.

Here we see him use a slight lean inward to help shake the would-be tackler in the backfield, then he shows the burst, but also a nice upper body shimmy to freeze the DB enough to use his speed to get the edge and the first down

Here we see him identify quickly that this play was stuffed inside, he immediately takes the ball to the edge and shows off the wheels to outrun the defenders to the pylon.

Here we see him release to the flat, I don’t love the body catch but it’s okay, then he gets upfield and switches the ball for hand-to-hand seconds before contact which I don’t love, then he does a decent jump getting his pads down but stuff gets pushed back by a smaller framed… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Here we see him make a nifty move to force a missed tackle and shows some leg strength to help rip through it, however, he lacks the feel or awareness of the rear closing defender who swats the ball out of his hands as he didn’t have it protected as he should have.

Here we see him in the check down use a nice stutter and stop-and-go move to freeze the defenders enough to create a seam that allowed him to get to the first down marker as he almost shook off the tackler

He is a pretty nice route, he has some space to work with on this LB, he forces him outside then does okay slowing up and coming inside — far from crisp or twitchy though. His acceleration creates the separation and he makes a nice hands catch for the first down.

Here is a nice piece of running, he kind of runs into his blockers but he keeps his legs churning and bounces off them to get extra yardage showing off some strength and leg drive to push the pile

Here we see him show off a nice jump cut getting to the open hole, then sells the inside cut helping set up his second-level blocker before lowering his shoulder into the pile to pick up a few extra.

Here we see him show off the quick feet and instincts to get by the defender then shows the acceleration exploding into the second level, but is unable to make anyone miss in the second level

Here we see him press the edge to help set up the outside block, then cuts inside it and starts upfield before being ripped down to the ground by the defender as he is unable to use any strength to power forward.

Here we see him with nice vision to find the gap and then the speed through the second level but can’t make the DB miss to create a huge play.

Overall Tucker has all the speed you could want north and south, however, he doesn’t move as quickly laterally. He has some subtle movements to freeze defenders but isn’t going to put a twitchy move on them to make them miss. He has quick feet that allow him to use quick speed… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
