Nehemiah Broughton

Another Otis Wonsley?

Any thoughts?



Nehemiah Broughton
Grade: 3.62 Position: FB
Class: Sr
School: The Citadel
Conference: Southern
Ht., Wt.: 5-11.5, 250
40 Time: 4.65
Selected by: Washington Redskins


Round 7, pick 8 (222 overall)


BIO: Three-year starter was All-Conference selection the past two years. Rushing totals as a senior were 180/793/5, after 165/778/8 the prior season. Posted a career-best 1,038 yards rushing as a sophomore. Totaled 46 receptions the past three years.

POSITIVES: Big, powerful back who possesses solid running skills. Runs with forward lean, puts his shoulders down into opponents and falls forward when tackled. Keeps moving up the field, yet also displays the ability to slide off tackles. Surprisingly nimble with good first-step quickness. Has the ability to quickly cut back, make defenders miss and displays a burst through the hole. Helps the quarterback sell the play fakes and aggressive with blocking assignments. Adequate pass catcher out of the backfield.

NEGATIVES: Overall not a back who can create when nothing is available. A little stiff.

ANALYSIS: A bruising runner on the inside who can take a pounding, Broughton presents himself as a complete runner on film. Combines solid ball-carrying skills as well as football intangibles, which should help him at the next level. Performed well as a lead blocker at the Senior Bowl and has the potential to be a triple-threat fullback if he improves his hands.

PROJECTION: Early Third Round
