I look for Oneyamata, Davison, Harris, Bell, Kikaha, Swann, Crawley, Williams, and even Gwatchum to be in that group that could surprise a bunch of folks.

I would really like to see a healthy Williams and Swann those guys are always making plays in preseason but just haven't be able to make it to the regular season

Re: Rookies

I'm not really getting the Sproles - Kamara comparisons. I can see a quicker Pierre Thomas maybe?

Which I would be completely satisfied with

I really doubt he is as strong as PT23 was.

Agreed. I see a faster quicker PT.

I don't see the Sproles or Bush comps at all.

I've seen it mentioned and I can agree that Kamara looks a lot like a Charles or Foster type runner. He has the same build but the thing I like the best is his no quit style. PT had a bit of that but I don't see the Bush comparison.

To piggy back on what I said. This video shows his skill set pretty well. Sorry if this vid has been posted before, I didn't see it.

It's the ability to make plays in the open field that draws comparisons but PT was elusive as hell. I also think he'll have a similar impact as Sproles or Bush though when given the touches.
