A wind-up toy for offensive coordinators. No linebacker or safety wants to get isolated against him in space, not with his acceleration, so he can govern defensive personnel if used creatively. Downsides: small target for quarterbacks, can't break outside press, and is easy to bring down once you put hands on him (that's the problem, though).

You could run him out of the backfield like Sproles or a good version of Danny Woodhead, then play match-ups in the slot and let him bend zones until they snap. The return ability is a bonus.
