MALCOLM AGNEW, RB, Southern Illinois

Basics: From Chesterfield, Mo. Played two seasons at Oregon State, rushing 152 times for 692 yards (4.6) and six TDS and catching four passes for 16 (one TD). Although he “loved” then-coach Mike Riley and his staff, Agnew said he transferred to Southern Illinois to play alongside his older brother, Ray, a fullback, and because “I needed to make a change of scenery.” Immediately eligible at the FCS school, he started two years (19 games), rushing 316 times for 1,708 (5.4) and catching 29 passes for 329 (11.5) and three TDS. Missed last four games of 2014 (ankle). Father, Ray, was the 10th pick in the 1990 draft (Patriots) as a DE and started for seven of his 11 NFL seasons.

Measurables: 5 feet 9 inches, 207 pounds, 40-yard dash time of 4.63 seconds. Vertical jump of 37 inches, broad jump of 10-9, 19 reps on the 225-pound bench press and a score of 26 on the 12-minute, 50-question Wonderlic intelligence test. Arms measured 303⁄ inches, hands were small at 8 7⁄ 8 8 inches.

Agnew: “I feel I just run really hard. I’m good running between the tackles. I love the zone running scheme. I’m a one-cut back. I’ll get downhill fast. I stick my nose in there. I may not be the biggest guy, but I feel like I’m a pretty good blocker. My best trait would be my burst through the hole. . . . Good riddance to the 40. I had a good 10 (yards) time (1.54), the vertical was decent, the broad jump was really good. That shows more what a running back needs than long straight-line speed. . . . I pretty much know all the running-back depth charts from one to four. I was aware they didn’t sign Dujuan Harris back, and Rajion Neal is coming back as the third back and there could be opportunities there.”

NFC scout: “Got a little juice. He runs tough. He’s just small.”

AFC scout: “I saw him in the NFLPA (all-star) game. Little bit undersized, but he’s got vision and feet. He runs with purpose.”
