Here is ESPN's Evaluation of Palelei

Palelei has the size, strength and excellent playing speed for the running back position at the BCS level. Has a sturdy frame which should be able to support added bulk over time. This is a physical player capable of taking hits and winning battles in traffic. Shows outstanding quickness with the burst and second gear to split defenses and run away from defenders in space.
