Finch is an impressive little runner who really uses his diminutive size to his advantage for great productivity. Lacks great size but is compact, put-togther and built low to ground. Low center of gravity makes him very difficult to wrap up cleanly. Hits the hole fast with great initial burst and suddenness through traffic. Has great feet. Reaches top speed quickly and can pick and dart his way through the small creases without gearing down much. Sees and hits the cutback lane sharply. Decisive in-line runner who will square up his pads quickly and get upfield despite his lack of size. Breaks a lot of initial tackles with his excellent balance, body control, low center of gravity and pure determination. Compact, tightly-twitched body allows him to bounce and spin off his fair share of tackles. Very elusive when he breaks free in space with his ability to stop-start, change direction sharply and cut on a dime at full speed. Consistently freezes defenders in the openfield. However, he does appear a bit quicker than fast and is a short strider lacking great top-end speed in the second level. More effective when he accelerates downhill out of his cuts rather than bouncing east-west where his lateral speed is not as superior. May not be an every down back due to his marginal size, but we feel Finch could develop into a very productive complement back and a versatile multi-purpose guy in the right system. His skills in the return game add to his upside.
