Has extremely impressive vision and one of the most instinctual rushers in this class
His play style is tough and physical
He has so much lower body strength that when he gets a run up he will run straight over defenders with his excellent function play strength
Is able to hit running lanes with great power and intensity
Has shown superb instincts and intuition
Has an excellent center of gravity and plays with great balance
Can change direction both smoothly and quickly. Is able to bounce into open space and can cut laterally with ease
Has good enough instant acceleration to burst through gaps
Shows great patience and football IQ
Is really strong running between the tackles where he can use his power and strength to be efficient as a north/south runner.
His lower body strength makes him extremely difficult to tackle and he can fight his way for extra yards after contact.
WEAKNESSES
Won’t have the home run hitting speed that some do
Will need to be placed in a power/gap scheme for him to get his best production as he lacks the ability to attack in outside zone.
His long speed may be an issue for some teams. Has good burst but lacks the true speed to attack long distances
While he shows ability, awareness and attention in pass protection he will benefit from being taught better technique so he can attack pass pro with more control and refinement
SUMMARY
Tank Bigsby is a north/south direct power runner who plays with physicality and toughness. He is a pure instinctual rusher and gap finder who can hit lanes with good burst. Bigsby’s calling card is his contact balance as he proves difficult to bring down due to his strength and physical profile giving him the ability to gain yards after contact. While Bisby isn’t the most elusive or speediest of players he will be extremely productive in a power running scheme that can utilise his traits and get the most out of him
