The running back position has been devalued in the NFL, but coaches will still find a role for runners who exhibit game-changing skills. One player who will prompt evaluators to reassess their thoughts on the position is Arizona junior Ka’Deem Carey.
Of course, most would expect the nation’s reigning rushing champion (1,929 yards in 2012) to garner a ton of interest from NFL coaches and scouts based on his production, but it is Carey’s explosive running style that has captivated the attention of NFL teams looking for a workhorse.
Measuring 5-foot-10 and 196 pounds, Carey is a hard-nosed runner with exceptional quickness and burst. He is quick enough to turn the corner on perimeter runs, but is at his best using sudden acceleration to explode through creases between the tackles. Carey has one of the best stutter-step moves in the hole that I’ve ever seen, and he frequently uses a series of stop-start cuts to elude defenders on the second level.
He also has a violent running style that leads to broken tackles and positive gains at the end of runs. His strength and power is surprising for a back his size, but it is one of the reasons why scouts are captivated by his combination of skills as a runner.
In fact, I had an NFC scout suggest to me that Carey “has some Reggie Bush” in him, when asked about player’s running style. Rich Rodriguez told me at Pac-12 Media Day last week that Carey “runs hungry.” Arizona’s head coach raved about how Carey forces defenders to make solid tackles in the open field, and how his punishing running style sets the tempo for the offense.
From a passing-game perspective, Carey is also everything pro coaches desire in a running back. He is a polished route runner with strong hands and ball skills. He excels at turning screen passes into big gainers by eluding multiple defenders on the perimeter with nifty moves in the open field. While he lacks the home-run speed to take it the distance, Carey is a dangerous threat with the ball in his hands, which is why Rodriguez has made it a point to get him the ball.
While he continues to work on his game, Carey will eventually have to answer for a few off-field incidents over the last several months. In June, he was arrested on a domestic violence charge that was later dismissed. Earlier, he was kicked out of a Wildcats basketball game after a verbal altercation with campus police. If he stays out of further trouble, I don’t see it affecting his grade.
At a time when the NFL is trending toward two-back systems with running backs assigned to specific roles, Carey is thriving on the college landscape with a game that should make him a three-down back as a pro.
