PT was the true jack of all trades RB. He did it all - runs, screens, blocking and was consistent as a receiving threat.

Never seen someone find so much hidden yardage like PT used to. He would get hit and somehow just spin and keep going.

I remember the second half of the superbowl, Brees checked down to PT and he immediately had 3 defenders there. It should have been a 2 yard loss, yet PT broke those 3 tackles and gained 10 yards whilst eluding another 2 tackles. Truly a special player that wasnt given enough chance to shine.
