Film Analysis:
Dylan Laube is a small-school running back with an NFL game. Laube runs with a low center of gravity and quick feet. He combines vision and patience to find his way into the open field. He does a good finding and hitting cutback lanes. Laube displays shifty, elusive abilities to force missed tackles in space. He has a good burst and acceleration through open running lanes.
Laube is a fantastic receiving threat out of the backfield. He runs a variety of routes. Laube can align in the slot, out wide, and in bunch sets. He is a mismatch for linebackers in coverage. Laube is proficient in pass protection. He scans well to identify the threat and steps up to meet them in the pocket. He is allowing his quarterback space and time to throw.
Laube is not going to check off the traditional size/frame boxes for most teams. He is not the best in short-yardage power back. Laube saw a statistical regression as a runner from 2022-2023.
Laube projects as a change of pace, passing down RB. He is a special teams ace as a kick returner. There is a starter ability within his skillset. Think Kyren Williams, Woodhead, and Ekeler.
