Conner remains the emotional tone-setter of this offense when healthy: hard-running, decisive and difficult to finish. The 2025 foot injury robbed Arizona of that heartbeat early, but the club reported a full recovery for camp. Age and a much deeper room may reduce the workload; the value of his leadership and violent running does not disappear.
Strengths: Powerful contact balance, patience, proven 1,000-yard production and rare locker-room leadership. He has been Arizona's most dependable offensive identity piece when available.
Weaknesses: He is coming off foot surgery and has dealt with late-season injuries in consecutive years. At this stage, Arizona should seek quality touches rather than asking him to carry the entire rushing attack.
