Overview
17
StrengthsNotes
18
Backfield CutsHis ability to make guys miss in the backfield is not seen often in this class. With 75 missed tackles forced in 2022, he has shown the ability to consistently avoid tacklers at every level.
19
VisionIncredible zone vision. He always seems to maximize space.
20
Route TreeHe runs legitimate routes downfield from the slot. He has impressive breaks, a great release, and an vast route tree for a halfback.

22
WeaknessesNotes
23
PowerHe will not run through tacklers in the NFL. He is not a violent runner, and lacks the size to compensate for the lack of lowering his shoulder into contact.
24
DropsHe has five drops on the year. This is not that worrisome for his NFL outlook, but is definitely something to monitor. His ability to legitimately play wide receiver in combination with great pass protection should keep him on the field in third down situations.
25
Big Play ThreatHis top end speed is not bad, but his average speed, elusiveness, and below average strength limit his home run ability in the run game.

Dartmouth (09/16/2023)Rushing: 33-180-1
Receiving: 6-31-1		Stays low on impressive cuts. Elite acceleration. Vision is outstanding. Weaker runner into contact. Impressive route from the slot. Drop, but still great routes. Good in pass protection. Highly impressive vision and jump cuts. Better zone navigator than zone runner.Late day 2 tape.
30
Albany (10/14/2023)Rushing: 19-85-1
Receiving: 3-37-0		Asked to pass protect often. Decent route, but twitch in question. Not overly explosive or powerful. Release from the slot is quick. Legitimately looks like a slot receiver. Good vision. Excellent backfield evasion. Okay pass protector, but does not fully commit at times. Good, not great, elusiveness. Taken down far too easily. Just not an aggressive or violent runner. Slows into contact. Stays low on his cuts. Nice stiff arm. Concentration drop. Hits holes hard when he sees space, but otherwise runs tentatively. Not an early down NFL back.Early day three.

Final Scouting Report:
33
Dylan Laube is a well-rounded back who had great production over the last three seasons with New Hampshire. He can run routes like a wide receiver from the slot with nuance and an impressive release package, and has a great all-around third down skill set. In the run game, he has good zone vision and understands how to stay low and avoid contact in the backfield. While not the most explosive athlete, his combine numbers are enough to suggest that he possesses the physical attributes needed to translate his skill set effectively to the NFL. That said, he may be exclusively used on passing downs early on in the NFL. He has no power profile whatsoever, never having generated three or more yards after contact per attempt on any of his last three seasons despite playing in the FCS. With his lack of power and home run ability, Laube is likely not a day two back despite his vision and prowess in the passing game. If he can learn to run with a bit more aggression, then he has the potential to become an excellent three down back. As it stands, he is likely to contribute on passing downs and take limited carries between the twenties in the NFL.

Austin Ekeler. Ekeler is faster, a bit stronger, has better hands, and is more explosive, but their overall playstyles are very similar.
