Clyde Edwards-Helaire - He reminds me of...

The size and speed of Barry Sanders. Like Sanders he does have good cut backs and moves, but not like Barry.
However, he reminds me of Sweetness, Walter Payton as in he has great vision and his runs are smooth, fluid and he makes smaller adjustments rather than the grinding halt, Break your the opponent's ankle moves that B. Sanders had.
I think he will be a star, with his speed, leg strength, vision, fluid moves, smooth runs, and lets face it, a RB that short standing behind 6'3" - 6'7" OL, TE, QB, and FB/HB. Plus it's just tough to bring down a RB who is short and strong, like a bowling ball.
Looking forward to this young man playing some ball for LSU.

It's easy for elite athletes to look like Barry Sanders in high school. Let's see how he looks playing against other elite athletes.

It's like if Walter Payton and Jim Brown had a baby, and Tony Dorsett and Barry Sanders had a baby, and then those two baby's grew up and had a baby together it would be Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who reminds me of a mix between Thurman Thomas and Ricky Waters.

Green arrow. But Ricky Waters doesn't belong. How about Emmitt?

If Barry Word and Christian Okoye had a baby whose second cousin had a baby with Dave Meggett, but later gave said baby up for adoption only to reunite later and introduce that person to the baby of Rodney Hampton and Bananas Foster, those two could have a baby and it would be CE-H.

Let's compare him to every NFL Hall of Famer

CEH reminds me of Kendall Bussey

Ray Rice is a better comparison

He reminds me of Clyde Edwards-Helaire. I dunno just something about his name and who he is makes me think he might actually be Clyde Edwards-Helaire...

Did you even watch Walter Payton play? There was nothing smooth about his running style. His style was organized chaos, he never shyed away from a hit and refused to run out of bounds before delivering a blow to the nearest defender. He had a never say quit, erratic running style that was more similar to Guice and Cadillac Williams than any other backs.
I'll give him a Warrick Dunn/Thurman Thomas mix, which I'd say is kinda like Kevin Faulk as someone else's mentioned lol.

Clyde reminds me of Kevin Faulk in build and running style, plus he can catch like a WR (common theme with the RBs we are getting lately).
Guice reminds me of Walter Payton or Cadillac Williams if it offends the old timers.
Fournette reminds me of a faster Earl Campbell

I think you guys need to check yoourselves. Earl played way before all of these wide open offenses. So did Walter and others.
They basically used to line up and point and say this guy is getting it. A lot of great backs today wouldn't have cut it back then in the type offenses run.

If you want to use that, they also played against a lot of slower, smaller, and lighter guys. A lot of great backs back then would be average in today's game.
I mean you sound ridiculous. Running through and around people is running through and around people. Nobody brought up yards per carry or other statistics. We brought up flat out running style and build.

I was thinking more of a Chris Johnson/Jerome Bettis hybrid
