Rookie of the Year. Is this comparison even remotely possible?

I forgot about Sanders before this thread popped up.

Last thing he needs is labled
Just let him be himself and forge his own path

At the very least, he appears to be another LeVeon Bell who is an excellent Running Back.

Not me........Barry Sanders is one of my favorite all time running backs. He was so smooth when he ran. Kamara runs smoothly but has a different style when coming into contact. He's like trying to tackle a rubber band! He's hard to bring down just like Barry Sanders but I don't get the same feel watching them run.

no comparison- AK already has twice the number of playoff touchdowns

Barry had talent like he was born that way.

Reminds me more of Walter Payton

I don't see Barry when I watch Alvin but I do see traits of Marshall Faulk & Ricky Watters (both were multi purpose backs).

Kamara's vision, balance & patience is ridiculous. I don't even think we've seen him run at full speed yet.
