I finished studying Maryland RB Davin Meggett’s performance against the Miami Hurricanes and I discovered that someone posted all of Meggett’s touches from this game. So I’m providing my analysis of Meggett’s performance with these highlights.

When it comes to the son of the former New York Giants star, four things stand out:

1. Meggett has enough burst to generate positive plays as a runner.

3. He has the makings of a sound pass protector.
4. What holds him back the most is his lack of maturity with his decision-making at the end of runs.
