Demetric Felton - Running Back UCLA Bruins 2021 NFL Draft Scouting Report

Scouting report for NFL Draft prospect Demetric Felton

DEMETRIC FELTON | UCLA | OH/WO | #10 | rSr | 5091 | 185 | 4.42 | Temecula, CA | Great Oak HS

Overview: 

A gadget player who played primarily out of the backfield for the Bruins, Felton is an explosive receiving option who is always a threat to take it to the house. On top of his blazing speed, he is extremely elusive and often makes the first man miss in space. Despite his small stature, he rarely goes down from the first tackler and always keeps his legs churning through contact. This competitiveness is the reason why Felton was asked to take carries between the tackles throughout the season to spell Joshua Kelley. Despite his explosiveness and big-play ability, Felton struggles to keep his eye on the ball with defenders approaching at the catch. This causes him to drop balls that he could easily grab and make a man miss in space. When working out of the backfield, his patience as a runner is worrisome, as he tends to run straight through the hole instead of waiting for his blocks to develop. Felton can’t be trusted in pass protection, but wasn’t asked to do as much at UCLA. The California native set a UCLA record for running backs with 55 receptions on the season as a junior. He also set a school record with four scoring plays of at least 75 yards during that campaign.
