Scouting Report: Strengths
- Limar might be able to contribute as a runner with some consistency if used on outside zone runs, but Limar is more likely a complementary back who, if used properly
- He does a nice job with recognition as a pass protector and gives good effort.
- He shows decent burst and straight-line speed to turn in big plays.
- He’s not the kind of guy who will define an offense as a runner but can be a star on the ground running behind a zone scheme.
- Possesses quick feet and straight-line speed but doesn't have the elite burst to be a constant big-play threat. Improving patience as a runner, following pulling guards and makes good decisions on his cut.
- He’s patient, letting blocks develop then accelerating. Limar runs with a good forward lean and consistently falls forward.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s not physically imposing. Limar is small-framed and won’t be able to carry much more weight.
- He can sometimes be impatient, not allowing his blocks to set up, a nuance required for backs to last a decade-plus.
- Limar seems comfortable in traffic to the point where Limar doesn’t make the effort to create separation.
