🔹 Average and willing blocker
🔹 Lowers pad level at contact well
🔹 Gets small and low in the hole
🔹 Crazy good contact balance
🔹 Plays slower then he is
🔹 Shifty, loves spin move
🔹 Vision in good most of the time
🔹 Very patient running, what makes him look slow
🔹 Does have a good burst and speed
🔹Good change of direction
🔹 Doesnt look to bounce it outside much, hurts him in second level
🔹 Gets from catch to up field quickly and smoothly
🔹 Hands catcher
🔹Seen some ball security issues
🔹 Will give 110% effort!
Overall Gainwell is a solid prospect, he needs to refine some stuff but he has only really played one full season at RB, but he can line up anywhere and can block so there is a clear path to playing time in NFL.

Below is some film to help you assess Gainwell!

Enjoy
Here he shows crazy patience, he over runs pulling guard which is not great but then basically stops 😬 and lets him get in front and take out defender, otherwise he would of been blown up.

Could have had big gain had he not out ran the blocker originally
Nice patience here and vision, cuts upfield and burst for 8 then shows contact balance and toughness to get an extra 3-5 yards
Here is nice vision to cut the play up the first hole not the original diagnosed hole and bust through and gets to the house, due to a nice effort and Superman dive!
Here he shows a nice outside run good vision, and spin move to bounce it outside his original hole selection and then a burst and gets it in the end zone
Some nice vision and patience, then a jump cut and he burst to the house running through some arm tackles.
Another example of getting small through the line and burst out adds a spin move again and gets 15 yards or so!
Nice cut inside the block outside and then runs through arm tackle and gets a tough but good 8 yards
Something out of nothing here, play gets blown up and he cuts it back and gets a solid gain!
In the reviving game here he makes a nice grab and sheds a blocker instantly, then turns back up field and gets 6 or so more yards!
Here he is the lead blocker and man does he lay a nice block on the DB shooting through!
Here is his fluid ness from catch to moving, in one fluid motion he grabs and tucks the ball in and turns up field allowing him to get ready to make defenders miss!
He he shows his receiving abilities making a tough catch look easy! Well done!
Here he follows lead blocker well and waist for it to setup, then gets low and small though hole and finishes hard with low pad level
Here he shows a nice chi block to help out his tackle and releases to be available for the QB!
Last but not least, his shiftiness, freezes a defender and goes by him!
Hopefully this was helpful for you to figure out who Kenneth Gainwell is!
