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)
