"A skinny, angry runner with elite lateral quickness and game breaking ability that puts the ball on the ground too often."
Brian Spurlock USA Today Sports
Strengths:
Game breaking burst and decent speed. Elite lateral quickness and breaks ankles in short spaces. Wiry strong and makes a lot more yards after contact than he should. Very good receiver out the backfield. Battles as a blocker. Strings moves together in the open field. High character on and off the field.
Weaknesses:
Especially small thin frame and gets swallowed up in a crowd. Runs hard but he's not pushing any piles. Not a blazer and more quick than fast. Puts the ball on the ground too often.
Overall:
Wadley's an angry, skinny runner with elite lateral quickness. While he breaks tackles for such a little runner he's still just about 5’10 185 playing weight at Iowa and gets overpowered inside and out. But he was a game breaking player for Iowa in the run and pass game and could be the same as a pro to a lesser degree provided he improves his ball security.
