He's not big strong brute like Campbell or Peterson either. The closest I can think of is Marshall Faulk. Maybe not quite as fast, and maybe a little stronger.
On that first TD of the Kitties game the LB HAD him. Squared him. Denied him. Yet he still managed to score. Wow.

I see quite a bit of resemblance to Marcus Allen.
