I think bringing him along slowly is the proper way to evaluate and develop. A few more reps here and there is probably best.

Yes and no... If he has ball security down and there is no more than normal risk of a turnover, whats the worst he can do... Gain 3 YPC?

If he were a receiver I would agree 100% as just not knowing the routs can lead to an INT.. For a back, once the ball is in his hands and he knows how to keep it there, the worst is he hits the wrong hole and gains minimal yardage.

That said, there is another thing he needs be able to do besides ball security and prove him self... block on passing plays.
