Pros

• Tough and durable running back through his college football career. 

• Lower center of gravity as a runner which helps him lower the boom at the initial point of contact.

 

• Can churn his feet when fighting through the trenches to pick tough yards for the line to gain.

 

• Very good ball carrier vision when attacking the line of scrimmage to break off good chunks of yardage.

 

• Makes tacklers pay a price when trying to hit him head on.

 

• Played in the SEC conference and was a force to deal with.

​

• Has considerable snaps in pass protection and shows a player capable of blitz pick up and being a reliable last line of defense for his quarterback. 

 

• Was productive in the passing game as a safety valve and screen pass target which shows potential to be a 3-down back in the NFL.

 

• The epitome for the Auburn offense that lived and died on the performance of Bigsby.

 

• Played in multiple schemes in college and thrived in all of them.

Cons

• Has a lot of mileage at the running back position which is concerning for his longevity.

• Lacks that extra gear to be a home run threat out of the backfield.

• Doesn't shy away from contact which is concerning when taking into account his overall size and build for the position.
  

• Contact balance is questionable.

• Can get cute too much when attacking the line of scrimmage and miss open lanes for him to run through.

• Not many missed tackles in the open field.

• Not much usage outside of the screen game on passing plays.
  

• Seems to lack the overall agility and quickness to be a more versatile threat on offense if asked to run routes.

Overview

Tank Bigsby, as his name nickname would suggest, is a tone-setting tough as nails runner whose got the right style of play and mentality to find a role in any NFL offense. His willingness to fight through tacklers until they bring him to by their own shear will as well. His pass protection skills as well are highly valuable as running backs like him are becoming a hotter and hotter commodity each year as quarterbacks continue to get more and more expensive in the NFL. Does Bigsby need to expand his versatility out of backfield? Yes. Does he need to significantly increase his overall lateral agility and footspeed to do so? Yes as well but for teams looking for a tough down hill runner take do the dirty work for an offense, Bigsby fits that role perfectly at this point in his career.
