I like both of these. 

I really like Yeldon didn't expect him in the 2nd but if you watch him he's a North and South runner, when he cuts it's to go up field. He runs a little high but he has good balance so that's ok, he really reminds me of how Fred ran. That cut to go North type style, almost looks like they're gliding as they run. 

Jan Stenerud

Runs just like Leveon Bell..

Barry Sanders? Gale Sayers? Those guys were two of the most explosive backs in league history. Yeldon isn't explosive, but he's smooth and makes quick cuts, and he's got quick feet. He's not going to take it to the house for an 80 yard TD but I see him getting a lot of 5, 10, 15 yard runs, where he breaks tackles and makes defenders miss in close quarters.

 

After Yeldon was drafted one of the analysts on NFL Network compared him to James Starks. That's a pretty good comparison in terms of style of play. Let's hope Yeldon is a rich man's James Starks.

Trent Richardson and Mark Ingram

Ricky Waters?

He reminds me of Ahman Green, although I don't think Green could pop through trash the way Yeldon seems to be able to do.

James Starks comparisons are laughable.


Yeldon has wiggle. Just like McCoy and Taylor

Yeldon can't shake like McCoy.

This guy knows his stuff. Compares him to a healthy Mendenhall.

That's a fair comparison in IMO!

Quote:Im seeing a little bit of the hispanic kid from Sand Lot with the pf flyers on. Similar quickeness.

 

You do know that TJ stands for Tito Juan right?

His intangibles reminds me of Toby G (aka The Horse).

I went back and watched some of Stenerud's youtube clips and I'm seeing some real similarities.

Poor mans Napoleon Kaufman

Emmitt Smith

Rotoworld agrees with you http://www.rotoworld.com/player/cfb/131212/t.j.-yeldon

 

 

--------------

I have heard a few people compare T.J. Yeldon to Fred Taylor...

Fred Taylor

6'1", 227lbs, ran a 4.29 in the 40 yard dash

--------------------------------

 

T.J. Yeldon

6'2", 218lbs, ran a 4.61 (in combine and 4.52 at pro day) in the 40 yard dash

 

Maybe in the injuries department?

 

What about John Riggins (Riggo) compared to Yeldon they both ran about a 4.6, elusive and able to drag/or run over players.

I don't think Yeldon has the power that the diesel Riggins had!

Riggins was more like Campbell, or Alstott.  Yeldon, no.
