Williams, Lattimore, Anzalone, Ramz, Kamara etc ... all high football IQ guys.

I see a kid with uncanny vision & balance. Personally, I don't see us waiting for the 3 year mark to evaluate his draft position.

Someone in one of threads compared him to Thurman Thomas. He was a nightmare vs LBs; too fast & sneaky-shifty out of the backfield. Never got tired & was difficult to take down despite his smallish-looking frame.
That's a very scary thought vs any D if the comparisons come to fruition.

Geez...I drafted him in a 10 PPR but you are throwing some serious dice. Got him for $1. Try to get a couple of these guys every year.

With Snead out no telling though. He could seriously be on fire from day one.
