Dynasty Rookie Draft Profile: Sean Tucker

Sean Tucker Dynasty Rookie Draft Outlook

Sean Tucker wins with patience, footwork, and lateral agility. Tucker might not have the most explosive jumpcut, but when combined with these other attributes, it’s more than sufficient. Tucker is well suited for a zone-heavy run scheme. He’s at his best on outside zone and stretch runs where he can utilize his speed on cutbacks or beat defenders to the edge after building up some steam. Tucker has decent vision. He can sometimes hesitate at the line, but it’s not a consistent issue. He’s patient in allowing his blocks to set up well before exploding upfield. Tucker is a check-down option only in the passing game. He never crested 1.22 yards per route run or a 56.2 PFF receiving grade. Tucker could be slotted into a committee backfield in the NFL as the early-down complement to a pass-game specialist back.

Sean Tucker 2023 NFL Draft Outlook

Not the flashiest or most gifted back in the class, but is one of the most pro-ready, showing impressive patience, vision, footwork, and competitiveness as a runner, protecting the football, and doing a pretty good job in blitz pickup, something that appears to be in short supply these days. Showed he can carry the load the past two seasons and looks like a solid bet to be among the first handful of backs off the board as a polished, safe selection.

Projection: Round 3-4
