Uconn running back Max DeLorenzo can quite simply be described as a jack of all trades. NFL Scouts have been very impressed with the versatility of the former Husky. As a 5'11" and 216 pound running back, Max has the build of an NFL back. His vast array of skills would make an asset to any team in the league.
