Beyond that, he's overdue for another breakaway. Be nice to see that happen on the opening kickoff vs. Atlanta.

Alaska

Watch when he runs, he knows when to go down. He'll lean to the ground just before the defender can really hit him. This is a big part of why he's able to stay on the field injury free. You can tell it's something he's honed over the years being so small and it's a skill nobody really talks about but very critical to his game. The only thing he lacks is Reggie speed but that's ok because Reggie lacked every other skill Sproles has brought to the Saints.
