to me, he's more fun to watch than Barkley. seeing him burst through the line of scrimmage, then start pinballing off linebackers and safeties...it's one thing to see a big back do that, but a smaller guy giving forearm shivers to defenders is a beautiful, rare treat.

I love his vision (he can run in any system), and once he gets to the second level it's like the running of the bulls, with him out to hurt somebody bigger than him. of course NFL defenses are going to make that tougher, but I trust his superior balance and pad level to carry him through.

he is behind in the passing game because LSU in general hasn't been able to throw the football for a half-decade, so he'll concede third downs early in his career. but he gives your offense an identity when running the ball, and that's still worth something.
