The Miami DBs couldn't run him down on his first TD run. He's a big back with some speed. I'm impressed.

Ehhhh he’s not slow but I wouldn’t say he’s got wheels? Fournette and Guice have a much bigger burst and break away speed.

i agree he's a great, down hill running back with good vision. in terms of his speed i would consider it sec caliber

he needs to get better at pass blocking but all in all he was impressive

I was impressed as well. I thought he was going to get caught, for sure. He also has really quick feet. Willis should have tackled him for a loss on our first 4th down play, but he was able to sidestep him and pick up the first. Very impressed with NB, to say the least. I have to admit, after spring, I had written him off.

He's a glider. He doesn't look like he's running that fast, but he is faster than you think. Jeremy Hill was kind of the same way. He didn't look exceptionally fast (like Fournette did when he broke free), but you rarely saw anyone run him down from behind.

I’ve been eating my fair share of crow the past couple of days but I always believed Nick. There’s some cats on here that owe nick an apology.

He does seem to run a lot like J. Hill

I apologized after the game on the score board. Really underestimated him.

Still think CEH should get more carries.

LOL...Brosette is not as fast as J. Hill.

He's probably a 4.8 forty guy, but it was impressive to see him out run the Miami secondary.

Based on what? Nick was outstanding and just thrust himself into the #1 RB role until someone can unseat him. He deserves more carries.

Makes that one cut and goes. Sure doesnt look like he is fast but none of those db's could catch him. Glad he is making the most of his opportunity.

He's shown that type of juice in the spring game. That has been the only time ive truly been impressed with him.

looks like a 4.65 guy. About the same as Jeremy Hill.

He deserves more than 22 carries a game? He had a huge hole on one play. The guy isn't Fournette or Guice. He looked good, I'm not saying he didn't, but lets be real here.

I think in his limited carries CEH showed a lot more explosiveness and ability to make people miss. He just had fewer opportunities and in different formations. I think it should be 50% Brossette/40% CEH/10% Curry.

I could maybe see that. My guess is around 4.7 flat.

He doesn't have the initial burst of Jeremey, but he can glides once he's going.

Loved how obvious it was that he's been working on ball security. Great to see that.

I didn't really see the 4.4 guys running him down...he may be "slow" in a timed 40 but he looked fast enough in pads to not get caught
