"The Crimson Tide prospect finished his career with 3,322 rushing yards and 37 rushing touchdowns. We really like Yeldon's abilities, as he accelerates through creases and can devastate defenders' angles at the second level. He exhibits good balance and falls forward. " - Marquavius Bennett, RotoWorld.com

 "Taller, leaner build than most backs and his size may play a role in the deceptive speed and agility which makes him so successful. Has above average body control and burst to make effortless lateral cuts and leave defenders whiffing at air, displaying his impressive athleticism in space.He's quick to the hole but shows good vision for cutback lanes, showing the ability to plant his foot into the ground and explode to ruin pursuit angles. Accelerates quickly and has good top-end speed for breakaways." - Dane Brugler, CBS.com
