One notable running back that did not play in the NFL was Adonis Thomas. I loved watching him run. Thompkins reminds me of him.
I'm surprised Adonis wasn't in the NFL at all. He always looked like a very good runner, from what I saw of him.

Thomas had a huge burst but weighed about 180 if IRC.

The Cleveland Browns actually signed Adonis Thomas as an un-drafted free agent but I don't made much of splash----his size really worked against him at that level.

he actually starred for the Browns in preseason, but was among the final cuts. might have made it like Flu if he'd stuck with it, had a good agent and kept trying to find a way onto a practice squad. tough to get that close to a dream and come up just short. takes a certain perseverance to keep trying when you get so close but fail.

Fluellen is a great example of perseverance. Happy for him.

Another hundred yards from scrimmage for Hunt. A couple big receptions in a game where the Steelers dominated the action and barely won.

still a tough race for rookie of the year. Hard to compete with a QB.

4:00 left in first quarter: 46 yards rushing, 19 receiving. Can't recall last time I watched an NFL game before this year but Hunt is giving me reason to watch. Simply amazing.

Unbelievable block by Hunt leads to long TDpass.

RE: Kareem Hunt
Raiders D line puts up a big effort and gets 1st sack of the night. Pretty sure Treyvon was in there.
