Extraordinarily productive in 2036, Hartley piled up a whopping 1,929 yards rushing and 23 touchdowns. He does it by exploding upfield when he gets a seam, and running through arm tackles with good pad level and strong leg drive and determination. His quickness, acceleration and top end speed are all special. As a running back, he hits the hole quickly with his initial burst, and if any crack is there, look out. Even though most of his runs are designed to the perimeter to take advantage of his big play ability, he does run the ball inside, and Hartley has shown the ability to plug it in between the tackles. He's tough, can take a hit, and will lower his shoulder. He will not be confused with a power runner, but he can run it inside.
Not yet a polished receiver but Hartley looks like an early-impact CFL running back because of the way he reads plays, and puts his foot in the ground to get vertical and maximize yards when they're available. His 6.4 yards per carry last season is impressive given he does a good job of taking what the blocking offers, but he also has an extra gear in the open field and can run away from defenders.
