‘”He’s electric. The last person I’ve probably watched growing up similar to his kind of skill set is Barry Sanders. Just the way he’s able to create a simple power play and turn it into him cutting it back and 80 yards to the house. I mean, his vision, his feet, his quickness, his football intelligence — how he’s able to understand the defense’s angles and use that against us — I mean, he’s a complete back.
