Shane Vereen ~ Boomer!!
When I evaluate any prospect, 1% of it derives from my own analysis of The Tape, and 99% of it is my evaluation of the evaluators: Those guys, quoted and linked, above, whose expertise DWARFS mine.

Shane Vereen offers a really nice blend of Burst, Fluidity, Lateral Agility, and explosive Lateral Velocity. He commands exceptional Processing Speed + Vision, working with his Line to set up Blocks. He's not overpowering, but has enough strength that he's not a liability on inside Runs.
He's not a very good Blocker, yet, but is already a dangerous Receiver.
In my efforts to organize RB's by their styles, I've invented the terms "Smashers", "Slashers", + "Thrashers" as what I hope will be easy references, respectively, to Power Backs, 3rd Down Backs, and Hybrids. "Tail Back" and "Half Back" are used too interchangeably, and in any case, a 3rd term is needed, for there are 3 distinct types.
Shane Vereen seems to be equally adept both between and outside the Tackles, so I call him a Thrasher.
Boomer!!
