PLAYSTYLE AND SCHEME FIT
Charbonnet would be a great fit for an offense that emphasizes power running and inside zone runs. His strength and power would allow him to break tackles and gain extra yards after contact on inside runs. He would also be a great fit for an offense that utilizes running backs in the passing game, as he has shown the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.
PASS GAME ANALYSIS
Charbonnet can run routes in and out of the backfield as a receiver. He is solid in the screen game and has enough fluidity as an athlete to run routes extending into the second level. Charbonnet is an adequate pass protector and possesses the size to absorb bigger blitzing LB's.
RUN GAME ANALYSIS
Charbonnet is a 6-1 220lb RB with three-down versatility and a frame made for the NFL. He can excel in a zone or gap-based scheme. In the run game, Charbonnet possesses the power that NFL teams like to see. He can get dirty between the tackles, where he can bounce off of contact and become a nightmare for second and third-level defenders. He plays with good patience and vision and often sees a hole close in advance before bouncing to daylight. For a bigger back, Charbonnet has excellent footwork and lateral movement. Charbonnet can be an upright runner, but that will not deter NFL scouts and GM's looking for a player with size and every down ability.
FINAL REPORT
Zach Charbonnet is a powerful physical runner with good vision and pass-protection skills. He may not be the most elusive runner or dynamic receiver, but he has the potential to be a reliable and consistent contributor at the next level. His power and strength make him difficult to bring down. Charbonnet plays with great footwork for a bigger back. He does lack the long speed to be a complete back, but his ability to pass-protect and run through contact could make him a valuable asset for any team. He is likely a mid-to-late-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
