Strengths
Compact with a low center of gravity. Extremely tough runner and player. Phenomenal vision. Sees the entire field clearly with rare instincts. Very quick and decisive through the hole. Sticks his foot in the ground and goes. Great feet and quickness. Breaks arm tackles through the line of scrimmage and on the second level. Excellent patience and pacing on both inside and outside runs. Knows when to wait a beat for things to develop. Exceptional cutback vision. Presses runs before cutting back. Packs a punch and punishes as a runner. Will lower his shoulder and bowl into defenders. Puts his head down to maximize yardage. Terrific in short-yardage situations with a nose for the end zone. Spin move is tight and effective. Experience on direct snaps and as a wildcat quarterback. Catches the ball cleanly. Very good impact as a pass blocker. Squares up opponents and has great awareness. Remarkable consistency and plays hard no matter the score or circumstance. Completely trucked standout safety Ji’Ayir Brown (Penn State 2022). Handled monster workloads before and after tearing his Achilles. Played great as the offensive engine versus top competition.
Weaknesses
Undersized in terms of prototype height. Average top speed. Explosiveness understandably dropped some in 2022. Not as elusive in the open field. Limited route tree. Suffered a ruptured Achilles in 2021 opener.

Conclusion
Overall, Ibrahim is a tough, compact runner that could be a steal late in the 2023 NFL Draft if he regains his pre-injury explosiveness. The vision, patience, determination, and character makes Ibrahim someone that every team should want on their roster.
