PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Giddens is a well-built, fluid runner with good vision, contact balance, and lateral agility but lacks elite top-end speed and play strength. His best fit is in a gap-heavy scheme that can provide designated run lanes to maximize his burst and decision-making. He offers potential as a third-down back due to his receiving skills, but his pass protection and decisiveness at the line need improvement. Giddens is an intriguing developmental RB who could carve out a rotational role early with room to grow into a bigger contributor.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
