Good point. I would say because the fastest guys are not always necessarily running by the defense. But when I think about it that creates a contradiction to my previous post because it takes more than being fast to make explosive plays and I described some of those traits as not my definition...

Edge was our light at the end of the tunnel after the dark days of probation. He will always be my favorite running back for what he did to help us get turned back in the right direction.

4.3 for a career is all time level production. Only two guys averaged 5ypc (Jim Brown and Barry Sanders). Many all time greats average under 4. If Lamar played in the 80s or 90s he would have huge numbers. Running backs are much less productive now in the modern game for a variety of reasons...

Can’t forget Edge. I forgot how **** fast he was. I always remembered how he hit the hole hard, broke a million tackles, and NEVER got pushed backwards. But he could FLY. Rewatched his highlights and he would outrun guys who had the angle on him. You underestimate just how explosive he was...
