This kid looks to be a 5'11- 205-210 kid...lot of these comparisons are off imo. He's a big time prospect....not Lamar Miller, bigger than Tre Mason already now. Doesn't cut it stuck hole like an Arrion Foster. Mike James maybe a good comparison but he may actually have more top end speed than James
You people are comparing size when many people are talking about running style. We can all agree that we know the difference in size between Homer and Tre Mason. Comparisons in size are mostly worthless. We have no idea how Homer's body will mature. He may be 5' 10" or 5' 11" and 225 by the time he's getting consistent carries. In my opinion, what is more valuable is taking a look at how RBs actually run. Are they one cut backs? Are they squatty? Do they run with forward lean?
Mike James was 5' 11" 225 and made his living off whatever foot quickness he could muster. In fact, most prospect discussions around him were about how surprisingly quick/light his feet were and how patient of a runner he showed to be.
Homer flashes upfield explosion, the ability to move laterally, and looks to run in a squatty, low-center-of-gravity style. He could be 6' 9" and if he ran that way, it'd make more sense to me to compare him to another guy who ran that way than to Luol Deng.
