As draft day approaches, BroncoTalk will be giving you game tape highlights of some of the bigger (and smaller) names around the draft. In spirit of the discussion yesterday, today’s installment: Illinois HB Rashard Mendenhall.

The first clip is the Rivals.com scout video showing Rashard’s strong points. Take note of the tough yardage carries in this video. The second clip is (in my opinion the best at showing what type of runner he truly is) all of the running plays in which he shredded through Wisconsin condensed into a 4 1/2 minute clip. Finally the third is a more stylized highlight reel.

The Illinois halfback blowing through the Wisconsin defense for 160 yards and two touchdowns. Note the tough yardage runs along with the breaks for big yardage.

Mendenhall’s “Ultimate Highlight Reel”

    Sorry for the late post on this one guys, I had to scamper up to Denver to watch the Avs destroy Minnesota last night!

    I definitely recommend the 2nd vid to take a look at what Mendenhall would look like in a Broncos uni. He runs between the tackles and hits the hole hard, but he doesn’t have breakaway speed.

    On another note: YEAH! GO AVS!

    Did I see that right, 8.4 yards per carry?!? wow…. just wow.
