Rookies

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; 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.

Only one short clip against a formidable team, the Gators. The rest of the video shows a lesser opponent.

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.

Quicker but certainly not stronger.
