The way Jamal Charles take it up the middle in traffic and breaks tackles and doesn't get took down at his size is pretty unexplainable and be havin me like:dahell:? If you think Melvin Gordon can do the same thats worth a overall 1st rounder and Mcfadden exit will leave a opening:sas1:

Whoa whoa whoa....No he's not a bigger Charles...that would be freakish, special, and generational.

That's 1st pick in the draft talent.
He just got done rushing for 408 yards on 25 carries in 3 quarters against a ranked team. That's pretty freakish, special, and generational in my opinion.

If this was 15 years ago, he's a first overall pick. It's just the RB position has been devalued.

That's true...but he will still need to be freakish at the combine 4.4 spd, ability to catch, and bench press 225 x 25 to be a number 1 now.

Anytime a running back is the hottest thing of the month in the NFL, there's always some guy in college being called to the next him.


I didn't want to shyt on Darren McFadden, but the board forced me to when calling him the next AD and his film clearly said otherwise. This is another case with Melvin Gordon

For what it's worth (not much) but I've been making this comparison for about 2 years now.. They have the same running style to me.

Who cares? Nothing about his skill set reminds me of Jamal Charles. I wonder if some of y'all really understand the position. I don't get gets watching RBs run through tunnel wide holes and showing little creativity. Wilson is decent, but none of his runs were out of wordly special to me.

What separates a Charles/Gordon is not their elite long speed, it's their elite acceleration + long speed. They out run angles at a ridiculous easy rate.
