Scouting Report: Strengths
- Joyner consistently falls forward, and Joyner will also bounce off of or shake loose from a couple of tackles to turn minimal gains into big runs.
- Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
- He has the athleticism, quick feet and functional strength to set the edge and open running lanes.
- Demonstrated the ability to track the ball over his shoulder. Good flexibility and balance to adjust to the poorly thrown pass. Good vision and patience for screens.
- A compact runner, he has a rare blend of balance, agility and instincts.
- Doesn't possess elite breakaway speed, but is fast enough to gain yardage in chunks when he finds a seam.
- He keeps his pads low and consistently falls forward. Unlike most backs his size, he has the lateral movement and stop-start ability to make defenders whiff. Joyner has breakaway speed in the open field.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Joyner doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.
- He’s good in space, but Joyner doesn’t show much nuance as a route runner; he’s not necessarily a threat when he’s flexed out.
- His hands are good, but he doesn’t show much feel as a route runner and might not be a guy you flex out wide.
