Barry Sanders.

Devin Hester, Dante Hall, Mel Gray, and Josh Cribbs were all electric in the return game.

Kamara isn’t electrifying like those guys but he has a very unique style of his own.

Barry Sanders was the all time best but basically played on a non playoff team.
Im not one to over inflate potential #s, but if his team would have simply been a playoff contender each year, he would have unreachable all time #s.
Power, quickness, vision. Hands, speed (not world class, but top speed in 3 steps)

And durable!

Kamara sort of glides through defenses as opposed handing out muscle relaxers and taking ankles. He contorts his body in a way that he almost never gets hit hard

I was gonna post Dante too, +1


I knew you loved the Aggies deep down

Dante is up there, surprised no has mentioned the Louisiana native Warrick Dunn, he's up there.

I'm a huge Kamara fan though because he gives you a little bit of everything. Can run through some people, juke some and jump over some. It's a surprise each time he touches it

Maybe LT. Brian Westbrook and Clinton Portis were fun to watch. Not exactly electrifying but those guys were beasts.

If not limited to RB, I'd go with Hall

Agreed it's Sanders...but pre-injury Bo Jackson was well on his way to being one of those guys.

Darren McFadden 2007 season. I saw him beat LSU at Death Valley. That performance was unreal. 206 yards, 3 TDs, on 32 carries. I was on the 35 yard line about 15 rows up. My jaw dropped watching this dude run all over us.

Barry Sanders is a great choice.

Tyreek Hill is the current player that is just absurd with the ball in his hands. Fastest I've ever seen in pads and can go from 0-100 in a split second. Unreal how quickly he hits top speed.

Helps when you line up Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, and Peyton Hillis in the Wildcat backfield and any of the 3 at any time would get the ball.

That game was an unreal performance though, I concur. I was there and felt like he wasn't even touched for 60 minutes.

It looks like he jumps a frame on my TV sometimes when he accelerates... like he just kind of morphs 3 or 4 yards ahead of his current position. Not sure if it’s the HD which showcases his speed compared to the fast guys when I was growing up but it’s pretty crazy to see.
