He was truly phenomenal, he would rock up with no pre season and just outperform everyone.
Here are his statistics
1987 In 7 games 81-554-4 TD's averaging 6.8 yards a rush., with a long of 91, take the 91 yarder our and he still averaged 5.7 yards a rush.
1988 In 10 games 136-580-3 TD's averaging 4.3 yards. This was a pedestrian season for him, not going to argue.
1989 In 11 games 173-950-4TD's averaging 5.5 yards, with a long of 92, take out the 92 yarder and his average comes down to 5.0.
1990 In 10 games 125-698-5 TD's averaging 5.4 yards per carry, with a long of 88 yards, taking this out, he still averaged 4.9 yards per carry.
To me he was the most exciting running back to watch i have seen alongside Barry Sanders. On any single carry it could be a highlight reel TD, with the truly blazing speed to take it to the house from anywhere on the field. I get that his career was very short due to the hip injury, and i am not saying he is hall of fame worthy, but to me he is right up there with Barry Sanders.
