It's misunderstood. By you.

It means he runs well In space when the one or two people that come to tackle him try, he will make them miss.

Same as open-field runner

No shite, dumbass. Who DOESN'T run well in the open field? Getting a runner or pass receiver to the open field is the goal of practically every play. It's like the parody of Madden: "Here's a guy that, when he runs, he goes faster!".
