Travis gets much press for his speed that helps him on the outside. However, he goes up the middle on a regular basis during the game, and he drives the pile, often 5 to 7 yards. Travis doesn't get enough credit for being a pile driver. I've seen him play several times over the last two years.

Now, at 5'11" weighing in at 199 may not seem overly large, but right now Eddie Lacy, another Louisiana product, is 5'11" and weighing in at 234, and he has been a pile driver for the Packers until his recent injury.

Just saying, don't count out Etienne based just on his speed.

I don't know why people think Helaire and Etienne are similar rb's. Etienne is already bigger and he'll get even bigger and stronger in college.
