Connors is a solid all-around back who should settle in as an RB2/passing down back for an NFL team. He finishes runs well with plus leg drive as he grinds out extra yards. He's not an explosive runner, but he can pick up tough yards. Connors has average contact balance and burst. He doesn't have stellar long speed and gets caught from behind with runs, but he plays with max effort and has no issues lowering his shoulder to make defenders pay. Conners is solid in pass pro. He can quickly diagnose his assignment and attacks incoming defenders with a solid base. Connors can anchor and hold his own while displaying good lateral agility to maneuver into position to meet defenders head-on. Connors is a trusted check-down option in the passing game. He finishes with an overall 14.4% collegiate target share and 1.43 yards per route run or higher in two of his final three collegiate seasons. He had only one drop in his final season.
