WEAKNESSES
- Can play too tall at times.

SUMMARY
Kenny McIntosh flashes a great skill set which meshes together, size, speed and receiving ability. While he has been used in a system that utilises a committee of RBs, McIntosh stood out due to his exceptional receiving ability, which will see him be utilised early and often in his NFL career. Displaying good vision and contact balance, as well as a refined pass catcher, McIntosh has the make-up of a modern NFL running back. If paired with a thumper of a running back to change up the tempo, then he will be able to forge a successful NFL career.
