Scouting Report: Strengths
- Valladay is a natural playmaker, at his best with the ball in his hands.
- Has the feet and feel running between the tackles and in the open field. He has very good vision and patience to pick through defenses.
- Not truly explosive, but possesses enough speed to beat linebacker to the edge.
- An excellent blocker on the outside, Valladay also adds value in the running game.
- He’s equally dangerous in catch-and-run situations as he is taking the top off a defense
- Valladay has very good vision and a knack for picking out cut-back lanes and then breaking offchunks of yardage.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- As a runner, Valladay too often looks to bounce outside and make the big play, rather than pick his way through traffic.
- He’s elusive with the ball in his hands, but he won’t break a lot of tackles. Because getting separation is going to be an issue, he’s likely going to need to line up off the line of scrimmage.
- Valladay doesn’t offer a ton of wiggle, and in college, he often sought out contact rather than avoiding it.
