Quote:2. We disagree on Gordon, however, especially on the issue of explosiveness. Him saying he doesn't have the explosiveness of Jamaal Charles isn't the same thing as saying he lacks explosiveness altogether. I think he was trying to be humble. One of the things that impressed me about him is his abundance of breakaway runs. He reminded me of Tavian Banks in terms of big play ability. I haven't seen that kind of big play ability out of a Big 10 RB since then. The one concern I have for him is pass protection.

It's interesting that you compared him to Tavian. I actually compared his breakout ability to Fred Taylor. That said, we perhaps should keep in mind that Gordan ran a 4.5 where Taylor ran a 4.3 and Tavian ran a 4.2.
