Ali's tape is a fun watch. He's a loose-limbed runner with a blend of instincts and agility that create an admirable rate of consistency relative to the inconsistency of the blocking in front of him. He does a nice job of reading his blocks and shifting speeds to get where he needs to go, but his wiggle and run strength are just average by NFL standards. Ali doesn't appear to have enough acceleration or speed to rush away from speedy defenders, but he is a natural one-cut back. His touchdown production and third-down ability could improve his chances of finding work as an RB3

He is no Perryman, while he does need to work on his hands, alot of those drops were from him trying to do too much after the NCAA, suspended him for some bogus reason about transferring.

His speed, likely our kickoff return guy, will open up the field.
