watching him tonight and I've been very impressed. Not just the long run. He sets up blocks as good as anyone I've seen recently and makes great cuts.

He might not be the fastest but he looks damn good

Was about to start a Bell thread

I wasn't overly impressed with him last year. He was solid, but I thought there were a lot of guys like him in the NFL. Good size and power, not that explosive.

Well, he lost 20lbs this past offseason and is most def explosive. Been really impressed with him this year. He's got great vision, can break tackles, and has a great 1 step cut. But my favorite thing about him is his patience. He's probably the most patient RB in the NFL right now. He lets his OL set it up and open the holes for him, and he sees it really fast and bursts through there.

Really impressed with him this season.

Not sure where I would rank him overall, but he's def moving up on my list.

I was impressed with him last season. He's lost some weight and looks quicker too.

he caught a lot of passes out of the backfield last year so he isn't just some one trick pony.

He's a stud. He was great in college at Michigan St. His vision is what separates him from many others. So far, as a fantasy back he's top 5 easy, but in real life I'd say he's close to top 10 back in football right now.

He reminds me of a faster PT.

Jack of all trades. He can do all 3 phases you want, but his speed won't be like that of Chris Johnson, Jamaal Charles, and LeSean McCoy though.

Talent-wise and how he's been performing I'd only rank him behind AP, McCoy, Charles, Lynch, Foster and maybe Forte/Murray/Gio or somewhere mixed in between those last 3. So the 5-10 range.
