Noticed on the long TD run along the florida bench....his head does not move (no bobbing or jerking, etc) which is the sign of true speed. As someone said in an earlier post, it's like he glides. We will truly look back next year on him and how special he was!!!

That rpo we ran where he followed the rb… but was actually 2 steps passed the rb when the rb hit LOS. Then pulled away from there.

He literally glides through the field. It’s truly amazing to watch.

I love watching him run. When he hits the jets he gets to max speed in a hurry. He also anticipates his lanes. His ability to see defenders down field and make wicked cuts without losing speed is amazing.

He's a pleasure to behold. Throw in that big $$$$$ smile and he's pure gold. Don't hurt that he thanks God for where he is in life.

I haven't done a study but I seem to remember him gliding along looking around to see if anyone was gaining or in position to tackle him. He certainly has an ability to avoid defenders and collisions unless necessary.
He has all the talent necessary to get the most out of each opportunity.

He could be a first round receiver if he didn't throw so well.

It was clear to me when he tucked the ball and turned on the speed that he planned to take it to the house.

Good runners heads remain calm. Good receivers are similar.

He is so smooth it looks wired when he is running. He almost sits posture wise. Very “unnatural” gait that is fast as frick.

Not just the gliding-dude is making moves that you only see on Madden. It’s weird but I think he’s just seeing the field similar to how a guy like Bonds saw the ball.

Its his entire upper body control that separates him from anyone Ive seen. His ability to stabilize regardless of where his legs are moving..

It's like he's floating across the water and everyone else is swimming as hard as they can trying to catch up.

I was saying he is better than Lamar Jackson last year and getting down voted into oblivion. I’m glad some of yall are waking up to the freak we have been watching for two years.

We will take a step back next year. And that’s not a knock on the next guy. That’s how good the play is we are watching right now: Generational. I said what I said

That burst of speed was nice. It was like he was figuring if he was gonna break that guys ankles and go inside or outside and burn him. He decided and kicked into overdrive.
