From the article

Black gave way to James in the second quarter. On a 3rd & 1 run, James attempted to cut against the grain instead of staying on his path and picking up the first down. That's a good learning moment for James. James broke a run himself. He had a 17-yarder and also took a screen pass 20 yards. James isn't flashy, but he's the type of back to bounce off tackles and fall forward for a few extra yards.

James shows learning curve but bounces off tackles; backup-caliber back

Jordan James entered the game in the second quarter, replacing Kaelon Black. James showed decisiveness issues on a 3rd & 1 run where he attempted to cut against the grain instead of staying on his path, but also demonstrated positive traits: a 17-yard run and a 20-yard screen pass reception. The source characterizes him as 'not flashy' but effective at bouncing off tackles and falling forward for extra yards, the type of back suited for backup duty.
