I would compare him more to Dion Lewis from Pitt, who has had a successful career as a change of pace RB than to Dri Archer. He is probably faster than Lewis.
On McFarlands highlight runs, he looks every bit as dangerous as Dobbins does.
As far as his supposed level of immaturity. His face looks child like. He may have some child like emotions, but that may not be all bad. The scout that posted the negative appraisal probably met McFarland for 5 minutes. Canada, the new coach, has been around him much more and apparently went to bat for him. We'll find out later.
