    With the 177th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins select Penn State RB Evan Royster. Royster is Penn State's all-time leading rusher, but he lacks the explosiveness to be as effective at the next level. He shows the ability to consistently find running lanes and can make defenders miss in the hole. However, he lacks the breakaway speed and lateral agility to consistently pick up big chunks of yards. Also, he is not a very powerful runner and will not gain many yards after contact.
