PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Dynamic and elusive, Gainwell is one of the best athletes in the 2021 NFL Draft. Memphis did a great job utilizing his skill set as both a runner and a receiver. He is a tough runner, even at 191lbs, who also possesses great instincts. His ability as a pass-catcher will add to his draft stock as coaches can be creative within their scheme lining him up all over the formation. Gainwell might need to add some weight to his frame but has the tools to be an NFL starter.

CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS

Low-Level Starter Potential (55-59)
A player with the upside to be a low-end starter or high-level backup within a couple of seasons. While they have solid physical tools, inconsistencies in technique, processing, or durability limit their ceiling. They are developmental prospects who may carve out a role as specialists or system fits.
