[Walter White]

Ugh, of COURSE you are you forgot to mention the quads of Barry Sanders the toughness of Bronko Nagurski the instincts of Thurman Thomas the yardage of Emmit Smith the nostrils of Fred Taylor the kneecaps of Earl Campbell the leadership (andshoulders) of Tim Tebow the noggin of Larry Csonka the hips of Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala the resilience of Willis McGahee the smarts of Alan Page the whimsy of Dhani Jones the hairdo of Eddie George the sweetness of Walter Payton the grace of Gale Sayers the rightplaceattherighttime of Franco Harris the soupmom of Donovan McNabb the explosiveness of LaDainian Tomlinson the eyes of Marion Barber III the hamstrings of Frank Gore ...

Actually he does kind of remind me of Frank Gore

The Frank Gore comparison is spot on. He is bigger but has a very similar running style.

Great pad level + high knees = very slippery through the tackles.

 

[GBdomer]

He body built reminds me of Jones-Drew

 

[greyhammer90]

I heard with a basketball in his hands he looks just like Michael Jordan. He tried to play golf one day and was swamped with people asking "Tiger" for autographs. He plays baseball better than Bo, and beat Gretzky in a shootout.

Pretty cool picture of him at sixteen when he first got his license:

 

[TheTurningPoint]

He actually reminds me of Maurice Clarrett when you watch his videos

My man.

 

[NDdomer2]

Name all the RBs!

 

[GBdomer]

I don't care who he looks like or how he runs I am just damn happy to have him.

Jim fvkn Brown...

Christian Okoye or Icky Woods.

If he were white-- Peyton Hillis.

Gore is about as durable as a wet paper bag. Hope the comparisons stop with size and running style.

Determination of Cam McDaniel Cleary

Agreed except he isn't a complete head case like clarrett was

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Reminds me of Jim Thorpe!

(Am I doing this right?)

Ernie Davis . . .

Christian Okoye or Icky Woods.

Dude really??

John Riggins.

 

[md_bennett]

I guess I gotta get in too....shakes folks like Barry Sanders, finds the end zone like Ladanian Tomlinson, runs people over like Alstott, intimidates like Jim Brown.

 

[arrowryan]

Still runs like Eddy Lacy to me

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

He's saying all the right things. So glad he's Irish.

 

[STLDomer]

 

[greyhammer90]

I'd pay big $ to have been in the room for that meeting.

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

Do we have any video of Alford as a player? Maybe Hood is Alford Jr

He actually reminds me of Maurice Clarrett when you watch his videos

Maurice never ran a 4.6 second forty. He was up around 4.8 when he got out of CCNWO.
