Wow. That’s your basis of comparison? And how many running backs are LF or DG? They were both high first round picks in the NFL draft.

All the people so down on Nick, too slow, fumbles too much, blah blah blah. All I can say is he never has looked like he was running fast, but no DB ever caught him from behind through his many many long TD runs in HS. He always pulled away. Are you a CHS alum? Those are the biggest CEH homers, starting with the guy that’s doing a radio show right now.

I don't think he outran anybody. giant hole and dbs were fighting thru blocks that didn't allow them to get up to speed in time. this will probably be his best game of the year

I think in his limited carries CEH showed a lot more explosiveness and ability to make people miss.


Tell me which play? his longest run in 8 carries was 7 yards. In 22 Carries Brossette had runs of 50 yards, 10 yards, 9 yards, 18 yards, and 2 runs of 13 yards.

6 runs of 9 or more in 22 carries.

I don’t think he has elite/track speed, but he has good vision, a low center of gravity and hits his top speed in a hurry after making a cut. Its deceptive speed because by the time you change directions to pursue him he’s already running away from you. Very good trait for a RB. I like how he seems to run down hill at the defenders which is in-part due to his low center of gravity, and he doesn’t dance or stand too upright (has a good forward lean).

I see him as a having the same style as some of the effective Denver Broncos running backs like TD or Mike Anderson... One cut, good vision backs who get downfield quickly.

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.


He’s a very high 4.5 to a 4.65 I think. Not slow at all but not lightning fast either.

Cam Akers has some wheels. That dude was burning up the field, too bad his team lost.
