Cravens has trouble disengaging from blocks, more so with offensive lineman. This is Ronnie Stanley, but these are the types of lineman he is going to need to have success against in the NFL.

Cravens gets free run into the backfield, but he squares his shoulders, wraps-up and gets the tackle for loss.

Cravens gets fooled by the option play, and seems to struggle against options, misdirections and play actions.

Two plays in this clip. Later in the same game, Cravens again is fooled. This time he’s worried about the QB keeper, and the RB ends up with the ball. One play later, he is decisive in going after the RB and gets a tackle for a loss.

Cravens gets completely taken out by the offensive lineman here. There was a similar play just two snaps prior to this, and a few more throughout this game.
