Tuten just popped onto the radar after running a 4.32 40. But didn't he fumble a lot in college?
Scouting Overview
Virginia Tech Hokies running back Bhayshul Tuten is a dynamic home run hitter who can change the script of the game with one play, for better or for worse. At his best, Tuten can blow the doors off defenders in the open field and has a nasty blend of vision, patience, and explosiveness to stretch the point of attack and cut back against overaggressive defenders.
At his worst, his ball security issues (spurred on by 8 and 3/4th-inch hands) can take an explosive run and turn it into a catastrophic mistake. If you can believe Tuten can be coached out of the ball security issues, he profiles as a potential game-breaker at running back.
Positives
Explosive breakaway ability with dynamic open-field speed
Well-built, dense runner with a thick lower half, dense core, and good contact balance
Aggressive in pass protection to attack and deliver blows to steepen exit angles for rushers trying to play off his blocks
Negatives
Alarming second-contact ball security with eight fumbles in the last two seasons
Can be a feast or famine runner who was inefficient with 43 percent third-down conversion rate in the last two seasons per TruMedia
Receiving game profile is unimaginative and will require added growth to be a weapon out of the backfield

If the Cowboys can trade down from the 12th spot into the 20s and pick up a late 2nd round pick, I would use that late 2nd round draft pick on Bhayshul Tuten. If not, use our original 3rd round draft pick on him IF HE IS STILL AVAILABLE (which I doubt he will make it into the 3rd round). If better ball security can be taught, Tuten has the ability to be a game changing player type of RB.
