School: Georgia Tech

Draft Result

Drafted in the 2010 Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 6th round with the #19 pick.
Big, powerful runner who must transition for a flex option offense. A poor man's Jerome Bettis. Had 1,395 yards in 2008 and 2009. Slid due to medical concerns.

Strengths

  • Best power back in the 2010 NFL Draft (Dwyer is the polar opposite of CJ Spiller)
  • Powerfully built and capable of carrying a heavy load
  • Reads his blocks well and hits the hole quickly
  • Takes care of the football
  • North-South runner who can get the tough yards inside
  • Willing blocker
   

Weaknesses

  • Started slowly in 2009 leading to questions about his conditioning and work ethic
  • Very little experience catching passes
  • Will need to show he can adapt to a pro style offense after playing the flexbone at Georgia Tech
  • Average speed at best and is not a threat to turn the corner or in the open field
  • Not elusive in the open field
  • Could be Jerome Bettis or could be a one-dimensional power back (Lendale White or worse)
