Keiland Williams was a top 50 overall recruit, 5* RB on some services.

I’d have to see Curry play first before I’d compare him to Keiland Williams

Brossette- Alfred Blue
CEH - Maurice Jones Drew
Ducre- Jerome Bettis

Obviously no e are anywhere near as good, but hopefully the comparisons give you a style to expect.

We've only seen 1 of them on the list in actual game action and that was very limited.

Let's wait until at least week 6 before we start comparing these guys

This probably won't be a popular opinion, but I certainly hope that Curry is a better running back than Williams. Williams was a freak of an athlete, but wasn't a good running back because he couldn't hit the holes. He was constantly going to the outside. How many times did we see him run into the back of his blockers on kick returns? He simply couldn't read the blocks. That's why Hester was a better running back than him. I'm not sure there was a more athletic player on the field than Williams though.

Comparisons based on size, style, not quality

Brossette - Rondell Mealy?
CEH - Emmitt Smith
C. Curry - Lynch, they call him beast mode for a reason
Provens - TJ Yeldon

Running styles/body types (so don't go crazy)

CEH - I'll get back to you on style, but his body type does remind me a bit of Michael Ford.

Curry - D'onta Foreman/Marshawn Lynch/Spencer Ware

Brossette - Alfred Blue the year after his injury

Ducre - Nick Chubb/bigger Ezekiel Elliott (I've said this since his HS days)

Provens - get back to you

A retired NFL guy said CEH is a thicker Warrick Dunn. I will take that.

If that comes to pass, he's your day 1 starter. That's one hell of a compliment.

Of course, I may be a bit biased since I'm a Catholic alum and was in Warrick's class.

I don’t like comparisons but I can tell you 75% of the carries are going to :


CEH/Curry
