Brees high on Sproles

Sproles doesn't have the speed of Reggie but Reggie never could run up the middle like Sproles. I think that's what Brees was saying without saying it. Every other catergory they are about the same. Returns, fumbles, catching. There are enough stats to make that conclusion fairly easy. Sproles would even be a better returner if they had not changed the wedge rule. Charger fans will tell you once that happened Sproles production droppped off.

Interseting note... all but 2 of Sproles' fumbles occured on kick returns.

13 fumbles in 6 years- 11 on Kick/Punt returns.

He's only fumbled twice in 6 years running and receiving.
